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
Stripe As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY>" --transport stdio stripe -- docker run -i --rm -e STRIPE_SECRET_KEY mcp/stripeRequires: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (secret)
Settled As a remote MCP server

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Only Settled has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of Settled publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Stripe asks for
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (secret)
Only Settled asks for
SETTLED_PASS (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
