netbox-mcp-server vs Pepper

netbox-mcp-server: This server provides MCP tools for querying NetBox objects, retrieving object details by ID, and accessing change history. It supports field filtering to optimize token usage. Configuration can be done via environment variables, .env file, or CLI arguments.; Pepper: Pepper is an MCP server that injects a dylib into iOS Simulator apps via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, starting a WebSocket server inside the app process to expose over 50 tools for view hierarchy, touch input, network interception, heap inspection, and more. It simplifies giving AI agents full runtime access to iOS apps for testing and automation.
