Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Humanitarian Data Exchange
HDX MCP Server provides access to humanitarian data through the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) API - https://data.humdata.org/hapi. This server offers 33 specialized tools for retrieving humanitarian information including affected populations (refugees, IDPs, returnees), baseline demographics, food security indicators, conflict data, funding information, and operational presence across hundreds of countries and territories. See repository for instructions on getting a free HDX_APP_INDENTIFIER for access.
foresight-engine
Strategic intelligence plugin for Claude Code. Give it any real-world forecasting question and it produces a structured four-scenario analysis (Probable, Plausible, Possible, Preferable) backed by live web signals, historical analogues, and deterministic probability scoring. Built on IFTF foresight methodology: STEEEP framework, Futures Cone, Cross-Impact Analysis, and Backcasting. Two-layer architecture: Python handles all deterministic arithmetic; Claude handles web search, reasoning, and scenario writing.
