## ❓ 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](https://github.com/TaazKareem/clickup-mcp-server/issues) in this repository.
