Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Trident MCP mordor-forge Multimedia Process	Macos Vision MCP woladi Multimedia Process
Summary	AI 3D model generation and post-processing: text/image/multiview-to-3D via Tripo, plus retopology, format conversion (GLB/FBX/OBJ/STL/USDZ), and stylization. Single Go binary, 10 tools, async generation with polling.	Local OCR and image analysis via Apple Vision Framework. Wraps macOS's native Vision API to expose OCR for images and PDFs (with reading-order paragraphs, bounding boxes, line/paragraph IDs, and confidence), face / barcode / QR / document-corner detection, and image classification — all as MCP tools any client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI) can call. 97% token savings vs sending raw images. Fully offline, no API keys, files never leave the Mac. One-line install: npx -y macos-vision-mcp.
