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.

What each says it does

Slack (Archived)

In its own words, on Docker MCP Catalog:

Mattermost

Read, search and post in Mattermost as yourself or a bot.

How to run each

Slack (Archived) As a local MCP server: Docker image

Claude Code
claude mcp add --env "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=<YOUR_SLACK_BOT_TOKEN>" --transport stdio slack -- docker run -i --rm -e SLACK_BOT_TOKEN mcp/slack

Requires: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN (secret)

Mattermost

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Requires: MM_TOKEN (secret), MM_URL

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of Mattermost publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Settings each asks for

Only Slack (Archived) asks for

  • SLACK_BOT_TOKEN (secret)
  • SLACK_CHANNEL_IDS
  • SLACK_TEAM_ID

Only Mattermost asks for

  • MM_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES
  • MM_MCP_ASK_BEFORE_WRITES
  • MM_MCP_CA_FILE
  • MM_MCP_DOWNLOAD_DIR
  • MM_MCP_FORCE_HUMAN_IN_THE_LOOP_IN_CLAUDE_CODE
  • MM_MCP_MARK_AI_GENERATED
  • MM_MCP_RESOURCE_MAX_MB
  • MM_TOKEN (secret)
  • MM_URL

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
