Bottom line: MCP.Directory is a directory; 1Server is a directory plus a runtime. If you want to discover servers and paste a config snippet per client, MCP.Directory works. If you want one connection that runs every server you install - without per-client config drift, without manually managing secrets - 1Server is the difference.
