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
Singlestore
MCP server for interacting with SingleStore Management API and services.
SQL
Read-only SQL querying + schema introspection over Postgres & SQLite, with a gated write mode.
How to run each
Singlestore As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "MCP_API_KEY=<YOUR_MCP_API_KEY>" --transport stdio singlestore -- docker run -i --rm -e MCP_API_KEY mcp/singlestoreRequires: MCP_API_KEY (secret)
SQL As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "DB_CONN_default=<YOUR_DB_CONN_DEFAULT>" --transport stdio sql -- npx -y @abhishekmcp/sqlRequires: DB_CONN_default (secret)
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of SQL publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Singlestore asks for
MCP_API_KEY (secret)
Only SQL asks for
DB_CONN_default (secret)DB_WRITABLE
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
