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
Semgrep
MCP server for using Semgrep to scan code for security vulnerabilities.
Apiiro Guardian Agent
The Apiiro plugin for Claude Code connects developers directly to Apiiro’s Software and Risk Graph along with organizational context, bringing repository intelligence, ownership, architecture, policies, and risk insights into the development workflow. With Apiiro, developers can enrich prompts with relevant security and organizational context, get remediation guidance tailored to their codebase and internal policies, scan code changes for vulnerabilities before committing, generate threat models on demand, and ask natural-language questions about their application and security posture. This helps teams build and ship code faster with security guidance that is specific to their repositories, applications, and organization.
