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
telegram
Connect a Telegram bot to your Claude Code session over MCP. The server logs in as a bot, forwards inbound messages into the session as <channel> notifications, and exposes tools to reply (with attachments up to 50MB), react with emoji, edit prior messages, and download inbound files. Built-in access control supports DM pairing flows and group/supergroup allowlists managed through the /telegram:access skill. Forum-topic routing via TELEGRAM_TOPIC_IDS lets a single bot fan out to multiple parallel Claude Code sessions, each bound to its own supergroup topic, so four sessions can work on four projects without racing for inbound messages. Proxy-aware transport (TELEGRAM_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY) routes both text and multipart uploads through an HTTP proxy for use in regions where api.telegram.org is blocked or rate-limited.
