What each says it does
Plugin Forge
Eval-first plugin builder: primitive decision records, generated eval suites with arming gates, sha256-frozen contracts, goal-loop builds in isolated worktrees, verified ships. The suite is the contract; green is the definition of done.

How to run each
Plugin Forge
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
ExecBro As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --transport stdio execbro -- npx -y execbro
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
Settings each asks for
The marketplaces of Plugin Forge publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
