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.

How to run each

claude mcp add --env "DB_CONN_default=<YOUR_DB_CONN_DEFAULT>" --transport stdio sql -- npx -y @abhishekmcp/sqlRequires: DB_CONN_default (secret)
SQLBot MCP Proxy As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR_SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_ACCESS_KEY>" --env "SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_SECRET_KEY>" --transport stdio sqlbot-mcp-proxy -- docker run -i --rm -e SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_ACCESS_KEY -e SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_SECRET_KEY ghcr.io/wenrou21/sqlbot-mcp-proxy:0.1.0Requires: SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_ACCESS_KEY (secret), SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_SECRET_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 SQL asks for
DB_CONN_default (secret)DB_WRITABLE
Only SQLBot MCP Proxy asks for
SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_ACCESS_KEY (secret)SQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_BASE_URLSQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_DOCKER_CONTAINERSQLBOT_MCP_PROXY_SECRET_KEY (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
