claude mcp add --transport stdio mcp-db-server -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/souhardyak/mcp-db-server:1.3.1

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of DBHawk publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Only DBHawk asks for

DBHAWK_BASE_URL

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
