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.

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 Code Index asks for

CODE_INDEX_DB
CODE_INDEX_EMBEDDER
CODE_INDEX_EMBED_BATCH
CODE_INDEX_EMBED_DEVICE
CODE_INDEX_EMBED_DIM
CODE_INDEX_EMBED_MODEL

Only io.github.radiovisual/zoekt-mcp asks for

ZOEKT_URL

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
