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
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)
io.github.chinlee2200-dotcom/bridgecore As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http bridgecore https://mcp.usebridgecore.com/Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tool names as the marketplaces declare them and as Ext Ops observed them on the endpoints (io.github.chinlee2200-dotcom/bridgecore as of 2026-10-20). More tools is not better in itself: compare what each needs for the job.
Settings each asks for
The marketplaces of io.github.chinlee2200-dotcom/bridgecore publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
