mcpls vs sync-worktrees

mcpls: mcpls bridges AI coding assistants and LSP servers via MCP, providing type information, cross-references, semantic navigation, diagnostics, and safe refactoring. It works with multiple languages and requires minimal configuration.; sync-worktrees: sync-worktrees automatically syncs Git worktrees with remote branches, keeping each branch in its own isolated directory. It supports multi-branch development workflows and automated testing setups with features like scheduled execution, safety checks, and an MCP server for AI assistants.
