TimeBase vs D20DAO Verifiable Randomness
TimeBase is an MCP server published by epam. Marketplaces we read that list it: 3 (Official MCP Registry, Copilot CLI: github/awesome-copilot, Community GitHub marketplaces). D20DAO Verifiable Randomness is an MCP server published by d20dao.org. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Official MCP Registry). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-21.

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
TimeBase As a local MCP server: PyPI package
claude mcp add --env "TIMEBASE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_TIMEBASE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET>" --env "TIMEBASE_PASSWORD=<YOUR_TIMEBASE_PASSWORD>" --transport stdio timebase-mcp -- uvx --from "timebase-mcp[all]" timebase-mcpRequires: TIMEBASE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET (secret), TIMEBASE_PASSWORD (secret)
D20DAO Verifiable Randomness As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --transport stdio vrf -- npx -y @d20dao/mcpCommands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
