core-gated

gated(the index the product exists to serve is produced by components that are not published)

The MIT license is real and the repository is genuinely public, which is exactly why this record needs reading past the badge. The README states it directly: 'This repository hosts the MCP server's source code. The supporting components - API backend, parsing engine, and crawling engine - are private and not part of this repository.' What ships publicly is the client half - the MCP server, a CLI and an SDK - while the documentation index that the product exists to serve is built and held privately and reached over a hosted endpoint at mcp.context7.com with an API key. That is source: partial under this ladder, a repo without the runtime, and the formula settles a partial source at 2/source_available before the license tier is consulted. An OSI license over a client does not open an engine that was never published.
