β FAQ
Why isn't this free anymore? Building reliable MCP integrations requires significant maintenance. Moving to a paid model allows us to support this as a product rather than a hobby, ensuring compatibility with API changes.
I have an old version. Will it stop working? Existing local clones will continue to work, but you will not receive updates, bug fixes, or support without a license.
How do I get support? Premium users get priority support. Please open an issue in this repository.
