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.

How to run each
Maestro As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "API_KEY_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY_API_KEY>" --transport stdio maestro-mcp-server -- docker run -i --rm -e API_KEY_API_KEY mcp/maestro-mcp-serverRequires: API_KEY_API_KEY (secret)
Chainweb API As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "PACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_MODE=<YOUR_PACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_MODE>" --env "PACT_COMMUNITY_WORKSPACE_ROOT=<YOUR_PACT_COMMUNITY_WORKSPACE_ROOT>" --transport stdio chainweb -- npx -y @pact-community/mcp-chainwebRequires: PACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_MODE, PACT_COMMUNITY_WORKSPACE_ROOT
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of Chainweb API publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Maestro asks for
API_KEY_API_KEY (secret)
Only Chainweb API asks for
PACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_BASE_URLPACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_MODEPACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_NETWORK_IDPACT_COMMUNITY_CHAINWEB_PROFILEPACT_COMMUNITY_WORKSPACE_ROOT
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
