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
Text-to-GraphQL
Transform natural language queries into GraphQL queries using an AI agent. Provides schema management, query validation, execution, and history tracking.
SQAI — deterministic, read-only structured data
SQAI MCP server — four governed, deterministic, read-only data tools. Free login to execute.
How to run each
Text-to-GraphQL As a local MCP server: Docker image
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)
SQAI — deterministic, read-only structured data As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "SQAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_SQAI_API_KEY>" --transport stdio sqai -- npx -y @thyn-ai/sqai-mcp
Requires: SQAI_API_KEY (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 SQAI — deterministic, read-only structured data publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Text-to-GraphQL asks for
GRAPHQL_API_KEY (secret)GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT (secret)OPENAI_API_KEY (secret)
Only SQAI — deterministic, read-only structured data asks for
SQAI_API_KEY (secret)SQAI_DEPLOYMENT_URLSQAI_SOURCES
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
