Why the edge:
- Agent ergonomics, fastCRW +47: fastCRW 91 (11 compact MCP tools, two of them the data-source tools added in 0.41.0. Content is capped near 15,000 characters with `truncated: true` and a resume offset, an…); Nexscope 44 (Read on the MCP server, with the REST API where a line covers it.)
- Maintenance & community, fastCRW +28: fastCRW 93 (v0.41.0 on 4 November 2026, matching the registry and npm (30).); Nexscope 65 (Read as a closed service with a public documentation repository.)
- Schema & documentation, fastCRW +27: fastCRW 91 (OpenAPI 3.1 for 11 paths at version 0.41.0 in docs/openapi.json, checked against the server in CI, and typed JSON Schema inputs on every MCP tool (25).); Nexscope 64 (A public OpenAPI 3.1 file at api.nexscope.ai/openapi.json, about 3.8 MB, linked from the quickstart.)
- Transparency & trust, fastCRW +19: fastCRW 60 (The engine and MCP server are AGPL-3.0 and the SDKs MIT, while the hosted control plane is closed under terms that name no legal entity (25 of 30).); Nexscope 41 (The editorial half.)
- Reliability, fastCRW +11: fastCRW 50 (Graded on the hosted lines, for the hosted API and MCP server an agent would call; the self-hosted engine would read higher on the local lines.); Nexscope 39 (Hosted lines, graded on the remote MCP server and the REST API at api.nexscope.ai.)
