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
PostgreSQL
MCP server for PostgreSQL: local, Docker, RDS, Neon, Supabase, or behind an SSH bastion.
OwnPG
PostgreSQL DBA tools over MCP, scoped to one database and one schema.
How to run each
PostgreSQL As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL>" --env "PG_PASSWORD=<YOUR_PG_PASSWORD>" --env "PG_SSH_PASSPHRASE=<YOUR_PG_SSH_PASSPHRASE>" --env "PG_SSH_PASSWORD=<YOUR_PG_SSH_PASSWORD>" --transport stdio mcp-postgres-server -- npx -y mcp-postgres-serverRequires: DATABASE_URL (secret), PG_PASSWORD (secret), PG_SSH_PASSPHRASE (secret), PG_SSH_PASSWORD (secret)
OwnPG
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Requires: OWNPG_PASSWORD (secret), --database
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 PostgreSQL asks for
DATABASE_URL (secret)PG_ALLOW_WRITEPG_CONNECT_TIMEOUTPG_DATABASEPG_ENABLE_RUNTIME_CONNECTPG_HOSTPG_MAX_RESULT_BYTESPG_PASSWORD (secret)PG_PORTPG_SSH_AGENTPG_SSH_FINGERPRINTPG_SSH_HOST

PG_SSH_KEEPALIVE_INTERVALPG_SSH_PASSPHRASE (secret)PG_SSH_PASSWORD (secret)PG_SSH_PORTPG_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYPG_SSH_USERPG_SSLMODEPG_SSL_CAPG_STATEMENT_TIMEOUTPG_USER
Only OwnPG asks for
OWNPG_HOSTOWNPG_PASSWORD (secret)OWNPG_PORTOWNPG_USER
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
