What each says it does

Rapier

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Paint with Claude, then pick up the brush yourself. Write notes, draw diagrams and revise together in a fast Markdown editor. See exact changes and undo recorded work. Keep pictures and editable drawings in one Markdown file, or download the document with its editor for offline use. Live painting needs an open Rapier editor; Water (Testing) needs WebGPU. No Rapier account. Shared workspaces expire after 30 idle days.

Krita Codex MCP

In its own words, on Official MCP Registry:

Control Krita through a secure local MCP server and authenticated Windows bridge.
