MDN MCP (experimental) vs Docfork
Both are up-to-date docs for coding MCP servers, and we ran both through the same test (docs fact, mdn docs fact) in each app. MDN MCP (experimental) passed 3 of 3 apps we tested it in; Docfork passed 0 of 3.

What each does
MDN MCP (experimental): MDN's experimental server for searching MDN docs and browser-compatibility data, so coding agents use current web platform facts. MDN says it logs queries while it's an experiment.
Docfork: Fetches current documentation and code examples for libraries from Docfork's hosted docs index. The maker archived the repo.
