gh-mcp vs fastapi_mcp

gh-mcp: gh-mcp is a GitHub CLI extension that eliminates manual setup of GitHub Personal Access Tokens for MCP servers. It automatically retrieves credentials from gh CLI and launches a bundled github-mcp-server binary with proper authentication. The extension supports multiple platforms and provides secure, seamless integration.; 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.
