martin-loop vs fastapi_mcp

martin-loop: MartinLoop is a governance layer for AI coding loops that enforces budget caps, verifier gates, rollback evidence, and audit trails. It prevents unbounded retries by stopping unsafe or uneconomical work before execution, providing visibility and accountability for autonomous coding agents.; fastapi_mcp: FastAPI-MCP allows you to expose your existing FastAPI endpoints as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. It offers native integration with FastAPI, including built-in authentication using existing dependencies, and preserves schemas and documentation.
