markview vs vurb.ts

markview: MarkView is a native macOS app that renders Markdown live in a real window. It integrates with Claude Code via an MCP server, allowing AI to preview markdown content. It also supports editing, syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, and more.; vurb.ts: Vurb.ts is a TypeScript framework for building production-grade MCP servers using the MVA (Model-View-Agent) pattern. It provides structured perception, data security, and anti-hallucination mechanisms. Developers can quickly scaffold servers with file-based routing, Presenters, and built-in features like PII redaction and FSM state gates.
