papergraph-mcp vs mcp-remote

papergraph-mcp: PaperGraph MCP turns arXiv papers, local LaTeX projects and born-digital PDFs into a local theorem-centered workspace. Agents can inspect source-backed results, proofs, citations and dependencies, save reading progress and export Markdown reports.; mcp-remote: mcp-remote connects an MCP client that only supports local stdio servers to a remote MCP server, with auth support. The project calls itself a working proof of concept and experimental, and can be removed once your client supports remote authorized servers.
