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.

Plugins still listed whose own names, descriptions, tools and skills are closest in meaning to it. Comparable, not endorsed.

What each says it does
credentials
Handles API keys, tokens, and facility credentials (kerberos tickets, globus and scheduler tokens, ssh agents, netrc) before a tool needs one, after an auth error, when a new secret is supplied, or when one may have leaked. Not for provider target configuration; use clio-coder auth and target settings.
keygrant
Run commands with API keys injected per call — values never enter model context.
How to run each
credentials
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
keygrant As a local MCP server: PyPI package
claude mcp add --transport stdio keygrant -- uvx keygrant 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
Neither one's marketplaces publish the settings it asks for.
