dev-loop vs GitHub
dev-loop is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by choiyounggi. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Community GitHub marketplaces). GitHub is an MCP server published by github. Marketplaces we read that list it: 2 (Official MCP Registry, Docker MCP Catalog). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-21. This pair was picked by a reader, not by our comparison rule, so search engines are asked not to index the page.

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.
What each says it does
dev-loop
Multi-agent orchestration grounded in an LLM wiki. /dev-loop:orchestrate splits one goal into a dependency graph of parallel Claude Code sessions, each in its own worktree, and supervises them natively on Orca (a tracked Task + Dispatch per phase, pushed worker_done / question / escalation events instead of polling, stall detection; raw tmux fallback). Every plan decision must cite a page in a bundled best-practice wiki of 400+ pages across 10 domains, checked by machine gates and a fresh-context plan reviewer. Insights from your sessions are queued and turned into reviewed wiki PRs when you run /dev-loop:knowledge-flush (automatic flushing is opt-in and never bypasses permission checks).

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Only GitHub has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of dev-loop publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only dev-loop asks for
DEV_LOOP_WIKI_EMBED_MODELDEV_LOOP_WIKI_INDEXDEV_LOOP_WIKI_INDEX_DIR
Only GitHub asks for
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.

Data comes from public marketplace files in GitHub repositories of their authors. Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Data comes from the Docker MCP Catalog (desktop.docker.com/mcp/catalog) and Docker Hub. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
