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.

How to run each

lm-assist

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --env "ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG=<YOUR_ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG>" --env "ORCHESTRATOR_HOST_RUNTIME=<YOUR_ORCHESTRATOR_HOST_RUNTIME>" --transport stdio orchestrator-mcp -- uvx orchestrator-mcp-server

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

The marketplaces of lm-assist publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
