mcp-raganything vs fastmcp

mcp-raganything: MCP-RAGAnything is a multi-modal RAG service that exposes a REST API and an MCP server. It indexes documents stored in MinIO into a PostgreSQL-backed knowledge graph using LightRAG. Each project is isolated via its own working_dir.; fastmcp: FastMCP is a standard framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications, which connect LLMs to tools and data. It simplifies the process by automatically generating schemas, validation, and documentation for tools, and managing transport negotiation and authentication for server connections. FastMCP offers a comprehensive solution for developing, deploying, and scaling MCP-powered systems.
