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 | ~1.2k tokens / turn (~7 tool schemas, 0.6% of 200k context) | ~550 tokens / turn (~3 tool schemas, 0.27% of 200k context) |
| GitHub stars | 2.6k | 508 |
| Weekly npm downloads | — | 2.3k |
| Local files | Reads local files | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | Runs shell or system commands |
| Network reach | Connects to outside service API | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | No API token required |
| Package source | GitHub (ZenNotes/zennotes) | npm (memtrace) |
| Install command | Source repo only | npx -y memtrace |
| Bottom line | ZenNotes is relatively safe for local use if your computer is trusted, but the MCP integration means any AI tool connected to it can access all your notes—so avoid storing passwords, secrets, or highly sensitive information in this app. | memtrace-public is distributed via npm (memtrace); review its source code, dependencies, and requested permissions before use. |
