frontmcp vs conductor

frontmcp: FrontMCP is a TypeScript-first framework for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables developers to write clean, typed code by handling protocol, transport, dependency injection, session/authentication, and execution flow.; conductor: Conductor is an open-source, scalable microservices orchestration engine originally built at Netflix. It empowers developers to define and manage resilient, distributed, and asynchronous workflows across various services and systems.
