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
socials
Official Claude Code plugin for Socials (Brainrot Creations). Ships an MCP server that connects Claude to the Socials browser extension so Claude can work with your logged-in sessions on X, LinkedIn, and Reddit. Claude talks to the extension over a local stdio MCP process and a localhost WebSocket (127.0.0.1:9847); the extension must have Agent Mode enabled. Supports feed browsing, post context, reply drafting with personas/moods, basic browser control (open tab, navigate, reload), and access checks. Works with Claude Code via the bundled plugin manifest and .mcp.json; also usable from Claude Desktop with a manual MCP entry. Requires Node.js 18+, the Socials extension, and (where applicable) a Socials plan that includes Agent Mode.
Twitter Scraper API
Scrape Twitter/X profiles, tweets, search. No API key. Structured JSON. x402 pay-per-call.
