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
FERS — structural FEM
Structural FEM for AI agents: frames, plates, buckling, seismic and Eurocode checks, solved locally.
AgentFEM
Build, run, inspect, and verify finite-element simulations with AgentFEM.
How to run each
FERS — structural FEM As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http fers https://ferscloud.com/api/mcpRequires: FERS_API_KEY (secret)
AgentFEM As a local MCP server: PyPI package
claude mcp add --transport stdio agentfem -- uvx agentfem-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
Only FERS — structural FEM asks for
FERS_API_KEY (secret)
Only AgentFEM asks for
AGENTFEM_COMMANDAGENTFEM_MCP_ROOTS
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
