codescout vs agent-bridge

codescout: codescout is an MCP server that provides AI coding agents with IDE-grade code intelligence, including symbol navigation, semantic search, persistent memory, and workspace-wide artifact tracking. It is optimized for token efficiency and works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent. It supports multi-project workspaces and integrates deeply with LSP across 9 languages.; agent-bridge: AgentBridge uses a two-process architecture with a foreground MCP client (bridge.ts) and a persistent background daemon (daemon.ts). It enables bidirectional communication between Claude Code and Codex via a control WebSocket and proxy, with automatic reconnection and message loop prevention.
