It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.\n\n**Popcraft MCP.** OAuth connector without copying API keys. Published tool inventories disagree.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### framefields\n\n1. Add the plugin with `/plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields` first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.\n2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing `skia.node`.\n3. Check with `comp.lint()` and `renderFrameGrid` before a full `renderVideo` encode.\n4. Call `process.exit()` after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.\n5. Preload vision models into `FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR` for offline or CI renders.\n\n### Popcraft MCP\n\n1. Preview credit cost and obtain approval before submitting paid generation.\n2. Discover the current tool list instead of assuming the advertised count.\n3. Poll the existing job rather than resubmitting a generation after a timeout.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, framefields or Popcraft MCP?\n\nframefields scores 61.3 (C) on agent readiness against Popcraft MCP's 37.9 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Popcraft MCP leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Can an agent call framefields and Popcraft MCP without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for framefields. Popcraft MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://popcraft.ai/api/mcp.\n\n### Are framefields and Popcraft MCP open source?\n\nframefields is open source (Apache-2.0).
