Why the edge

Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.

Schema & documentation amCharts 5 MCP Server +64

amCharts 5 MCP Server 84

12 tools read from tools/list with JSON Schema inputs (25). Docs served as Markdown to the agent (10). Descriptions say what each returns, and the docs explain the on-demand approach (16 of 20). Typed inputs with two enums (10 of 15). Worked examples in the README (8 of 15). Dated changelog (15). 25 + 10 + 16 + 10 + 8 + 15 = 84.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant 20

The MCP server is registered through VS Code's mcpServerDefinitionProviders and its tool names, descriptions and input schemas are not published in the README, the manifest or the support repository. With the source private, none could be read (0 of 25, 0 of 20, 0 of 15). The extension writes Markdown instruction files and device skills into the workspace for the agent to read, which is agent-facing documentation, though not served on the web (6 of 10). The README has two worked setup flows and a troubleshooting section, with no error responses documented (4 of 15). A public changelog with dated 0.x versions (10 of 15).

Agent ergonomics amCharts 5 MCP Server +43

amCharts 5 MCP Server 70

12 tools, about 12 KB (15). Tools fetch one document or example at a time (15 of 20). Errors not documented (5 of 20). All 12 annotated read-only (20). No key and one URL; mcp-remote for stdio clients (15). 15 + 15 + 5 + 20 + 15 = 70.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant 27

The tool count is unknown. The changelog says code-example discovery gained keyword and category filters, category summaries and result limits to cut catalogue data in conversations, and skills are deployed per board, which counts as a partial subset (10 of 25). Those filters and limits are the only output controls documented (8 of 20). 0.6.0 added user-visible error reporting for asset loading, with no agent-facing error format documented (3 of 20). No idempotency or tool annotations could be read (0 of 20). Settings have defaults and the ModusToolbox path is auto-detected. No SDK, which fits an editor extension (6 of 15).

Maintenance & community amCharts 5 MCP Server +31

amCharts 5 MCP Server 75

v1.9.4 on 25 October 2026 (30). Eight releases since 8 October (20). Issues not read (0). Official registry entry io.github.amcharts/amcharts5 (15). CI with test and deploy workflows (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant 44

0.6.0 is dated 28 September 2026 in the changelog and its Marketplace package 1 October 2026, within 30 days (30). Two dated releases in the last 90 days, 0.5.0 on 28 August and 0.6.0 (0 of 20). The three issues opened on 21 October 2026 were each answered within about nine hours, and pull requests are not accepted (12 of 25). Not in the official MCP registry under any Infineon name (0 of 15). No dependencies or CI visible for the private implementation (2 of 10).

Transparency & trust amCharts 5 MCP Server +19

amCharts 5 MCP Server 57

MIT licence, copyright 2026 amCharts (30). Public docs only, no user data (20 of 30). Dated changelog, no deprecation policy (8 of 20). Hosted on Cloudflare per the repository's wrangler config; no data locations stated (8 of 20). 30 + 20 + 8 + 8 = 66.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant 38

The manifest and the support repository state Apache-2.0, but the implementation is maintained privately and the repository cannot build the extension, so which code the licence covers is unclear (12 of 30). The README says the server runs locally and fetches Infineon's super-manifest from GitHub at startup, with other work offline. There is no product data statement, and Infineon's general privacy policy was not readable (8 of 30). The changelog records the extension id change, with no deprecation policy (3 of 20). No telemetry setting in the manifest and no telemetry statement either way. Network use is stated in one sentence (6 of 20).

Reliability amCharts 5 MCP Server +17

amCharts 5 MCP Server 65

Local-software reading for an open-source server that amCharts also hosts. Installs as @amcharts/amcharts5-mcp, and the hosted URL needs nothing installed (20). test.yml runs on the repository; pass state not read (15 of 25). Repository issues not read (0). A dated CHANGELOG.md with semver releases (15). Version 1.9.4 (15). 20 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 15 = 65.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant 48

Read with the local-software lines, because the extension and its MCP server run on the developer's machine. Official package on the VS Code Marketplace with VS Code 1.85, ModusToolbox 3.7 and Python 3.9 stated as requirements (20). The implementation is private, so no CI or test suite can be seen (0 of 25). The public tracker has three issues, all opened on 21 October 2026 and each answered the same day by an Infineon contributor. The sample is one day old (20 of 25). Keep a Changelog format with 0.x versions, and the extension id change in 0.1.21 is recorded but not marked as breaking (8 of 15). Version 0.6.0 and declared Preview (0 of 15).

How the scores have moved

Verdicts

amCharts 5 MCP Server

amCharts' MCP server is a model docs server, open source, free, keyless, 12 read-only annotated tools that fetch only the page or example needed, with a dated changelog and CI. It's narrow by design, useful only when an agent writes amCharts 5 code.

ModusToolbox AI Assistant

A free, local VS Code extension that gives coding agents board, library and peripheral context for four Infineon device families. Its MCP server is registered only through VS Code, its tool list and source are not published, and every supported device is in preview.

Before you call either

amCharts 5 MCP Server

  1. Fetch the specific doc or example rather than searching broadly
  2. Check the amCharts licence before shipping charts commercially
  3. Use mcp-remote for clients that only run stdio servers

ModusToolbox AI Assistant

  1. Expect this only inside VS Code, with ModusToolbox 3.7 or later, Python 3.9 or later and the ModusToolbox for VS Code extension installed.
  2. Read .github/skills/mtb-* and .github/copilot-instructions.md for board-specific guidance; they are plain Markdown any agent in the workspace can open.
  3. Run Reset MCP Cache or Generate AI Instructions when the guidance does not match the active board.
  4. Check the board is PSOC Edge E84, PSOC Control C3, PSOC 4 HV or TRAVEO T2G before relying on it; PSOC 6 and PSOC 4 are not supported yet.
