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.

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
SQL
Read-only SQL querying + schema introspection over Postgres & SQLite, with a gated write mode.
Spreadsheet DB
SQLite-authoritative entity database with an async Google Sheets projection for AI agents.
How to run each
SQL As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "DB_CONN_default=<YOUR_DB_CONN_DEFAULT>" --transport stdio sql -- npx -y @abhishekmcp/sqlRequires: DB_CONN_default (secret)
Spreadsheet DB As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=<YOUR_GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS>" --transport stdio spreadsheet-db-mcp -- npx -y spreadsheet-db-mcpRequires: GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS (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 SQL asks for
DB_CONN_default (secret)DB_WRITABLE
Only Spreadsheet DB asks for
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS (secret)HIKOUTEI_MCP_CONFIGHIKOUTEI_SYNC_SPREADSHEET_URL
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
