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.

How to run each
TinyFish
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
INSSIST As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --transport stdio inssist-mcp -- npx -y @inssist/mcpCommands 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 TinyFish publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
