PomoDash is an MCP server published by DannyyTv. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Docker MCP Catalog). backlog is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by backloghq. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-12.

Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

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
PomoDash As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "POMODASH_API_KEY=<YOUR_POMODASH_API_KEY>" --transport stdio pomodash -- docker run -i --rm -e POMODASH_API_KEY mcp/pomodashRequires: POMODASH_API_KEY (secret)
backlog
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 backlog publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only PomoDash asks for
POMODASH_API_KEY (secret)POMODASH_API_URL
Only backlog asks for
TASKDATA_ROOT
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
