License & Cloud

Open at the core. Built to last.

MCPG is open core: the gateway, SDK, CLIs, and free plugins are Apache-2.0, and the enterprise ring is source-available under BUSL-1.1 with an automatic three-year conversion to Apache-2.0. License entitlements and our managed cloud fund the work, so the open core keeps getting better.

How MCPG is licensed

Open core, with a business that sustains it.

Everything we publish is source-open and free to self-host. A focused commercial layer — managed cloud, license-key entitlements, and the BUSL enterprise ring — keeps the lights on.

Apache-2.0

The open core

The gateway runtime, the plugin SDK and protocol, the CLIs, and most of the 93 shipping plugins are Apache-2.0. Free to run, fork, and self-host in production — forever. Anything published under Apache-2.0 never moves to a stricter license.

BUSL-1.1 + license keys

Enterprise ring

The enterprise plugins (SAML SSO, DLP, WORM audit, dynamic secrets, policy engines, clustering, payments) and the fleet platform (operator, control plane) are source-available under BUSL-1.1 — free for non-production use, production unlocked by the same signed license key the software verifies, and every release auto-converts to Apache-2.0 after three years. The operator and control plane are free in production for your own organization.

Managed cloud · mcpg.cloud

Let us run your MCP gateway.

MCPG Cloud takes operations off your plate — upgrades, scaling, high availability, observability, and security patching — so your team ships instead of babysitting infrastructure. We meet you wherever you are, from a first prototype to a regulated enterprise fleet.

Prototype

Spin up a governed MCP endpoint in minutes. Built for early-stage startups validating an idea, with a free path to get going.

Scale

Grow from one team to many — fleets, quotas, rate limits, and a full audit trail baked in as you go.

Enterprise

SAML SSO, payload capture, long audit retention, and dedicated support for regulated and security-sensitive environments.

BYOC

Run MCPG Cloud inside your own cloud account — your data, your network, our operations and on-call.

Building something that needs more?

Whether it's enterprise entitlements, a BYOC deployment, or a fully managed fleet — reach out and we'll help you find the right fit.
