Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.

| Type | App connector | App connector |
| Est. context load | ~500 tokens / turn (~3 tool schemas, 0.25% of 200k context) | ~900 tokens / turn (~5 tool schemas, 0.45% of 200k context) |
| GitHub stars | 52 | 44.9k |
| Weekly npm downloads | 475 | — |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | Runs shell or system commands | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Connects to outside service API | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | npm (mcp-dashboards) | GitHub (AstrBotDevs/AstrBot) |
| Install command | npx -y mcp-dashboards | Source repo only |
| Bottom line | mcp-dashboards is distributed via npm (mcp-dashboards); review its source code, dependencies, and requested permissions before use. | AstrBot (MCP server) requires careful permission scoping — credential exposure: Framework handles credentials for multiple IM platforms and LLMs; improper scoping or logging could leak API keys and authentication tokens |
