How to run each
optlens
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
io.github.aprilelevengo/swotpal-mcp-server As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "SWOTPAL_API_KEY=<YOUR_SWOTPAL_API_KEY>" --transport stdio swotpal-mcp-server -- npx -y @swotpal/mcp-serverRequires: SWOTPAL_API_KEY (secret)
Commands 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
Only optlens asks for
OPTLENS_CALL_LIMITOPTLENS_SOLVER
Only io.github.aprilelevengo/swotpal-mcp-server asks for
SWOTPAL_API_KEY (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
