Same numbers we show everywhere else, lined up. Ratings come from users, the grade comes from our scanner, adoption comes from public registries.
The short version
Neither has been reviewed yet, so the comparison rests on the scan and the public usage numbers. The safety scan favours Glif (92/100 against 83). Glif is hosted and callable through the gateway; MCP runs on your own machine.
