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.

n8n As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "N8N_API_KEY=<YOUR_N8N_API_KEY>" --transport stdio n8n -- docker run -i --rm -e N8N_API_KEY mcp/n8nRequires: N8N_API_KEY (secret)
origami-ms
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of origami-ms publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only n8n asks for
MCP_MODEN8N_API_KEY (secret)N8N_API_URL
Only origami-ms asks for
ORIGAMI_ACCOUNTORIGAMI_API_SECRET (secret)ORIGAMI_USERNAME
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
