mcp-use vs pwno-mcp

mcp-use: mcp-use is a full-stack framework for Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling the creation of MCP servers, clients, and AI agents. It supports development in both Python and TypeScript with minimal code.; pwno-mcp: pwno-mcp runs GDB with pwndbg in an isolated Docker environment and exposes stateful debugging, exploit I/O, and helper tooling over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It supports multi-session workflows, fast context snapshots, and workspace automation for binary analysis.
