Orchestrator As a local MCP server: PyPI package
claude mcp add --env "ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG=<YOUR_ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG>" --env "ORCHESTRATOR_HOST_RUNTIME=<YOUR_ORCHESTRATOR_HOST_RUNTIME>" --transport stdio orchestrator-mcp -- uvx orchestrator-mcp-serverRequires: ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG, ORCHESTRATOR_HOST_RUNTIME
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 gdb-mcp publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
