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

Text-to-GraphQL As a local MCP server: Docker image

Claude Code

claude mcp add --env "GRAPHQL_API_KEY=<YOUR_GRAPHQL_API_KEY>" --env "GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT=<YOUR_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT>" --env "OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY>" --transport stdio text-to-graphql -- docker run -i --rm -e GRAPHQL_API_KEY -e GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT -e OPENAI_API_KEY mcp/text-to-graphql

Requires: GRAPHQL_API_KEY (secret), GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT (secret), OPENAI_API_KEY (secret)

MCP Database Server As a local MCP server: Docker image

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio mcp-db-server -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/souhardyak/mcp-db-server:1.3.1

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

Tools each declares

Only Text-to-GraphQL declares

execute_graphql_query
generate_graphql_query
get_query_examples
get_query_history
validate_graphql_query

Only MCP Database Server declares

connect_to_database
describe_table
execute_sql
get_connection_examples
get_current_database_info
list_tables
query_database

Both declare

None

Tool names as each marketplace publishes them. More tools is not better in itself: compare what each needs for the job.

Settings each asks for

Only Text-to-GraphQL asks for

GRAPHQL_API_KEY (secret)
GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT (secret)
OPENAI_API_KEY (secret)

Only MCP Database Server asks for
