FAQ: Open Source

Why does open source matter for MCP servers?

MCP servers frequently touch credentials (database strings, API tokens) and run tools on your behalf. Open source means anyone can audit what the server actually does with those credentials before you hand them over.

Are all "official" MCPs open source?

Most are — Anthropic's official servers and the GitHub, Supabase, and Linear MCPs are all OSS. A handful of commercial-only MCPs exist, but the MCP norm is open source.

Which OSS license should I look for?

MIT and Apache-2.0 dominate. Both are business-friendly and let you ship derivatives in commercial products. A copyleft license (GPL) is rare for MCPs; if you find one, check that your use fits before bundling.
