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
hound-mcp
Web research for AI agents. Fetch any page with anti-bot bypass plus web search. $0 forever. No scrapling dependency: hound uses primp + patchright directly. Graceful degradation when browser deps are unavailable (HTTP-only mode on Termux/Android). Token-optimized tool definitions, polished cross-platform CLI, brick-proof self-update with hound doctor + rollback.
Webcrawl Anything
Scrape, map, crawl, search and monitor the web. Runs locally with no API key, cites every source.
How to run each
hound-mcp
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Webcrawl Anything As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http webcrawl https://webcrawl.app/mcpRequires: WEBCRAWL_API_KEY (secret)
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Only Webcrawl Anything has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
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 hound-mcp publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
