Comparisons, guides and notes on reusing open-source code with coding agents, from the team behind JustClaw-It MCP. RSS feed.
Coding agents copy open-source code without the notices its licence requires. For agencies handing code to clients, that is a real liability. What MIT, Apache-2.0, MPL and GPL ask of you, and a workflow that keeps reuse clean.
Smithery, Glama and the official MCP Registry help you find MCP servers; JustClaw-It is an MCP server that finds code. What changes with Smithery's 31 October shutdown, and how to choose servers safely.
GitHub's MCP server and code search are free and cover all of GitHub. JustClaw-It is narrower but returns whole, graded, licence-tagged components. When each is the right tool.
Context7 gives coding agents up-to-date library documentation; JustClaw-It gives them licence-tagged components from real repositories. How they differ, what each costs, and why many setups use both.
A fair comparison of JustClaw-It and 21st.dev (21st MCP, formerly Magic MCP): what each library covers, how pricing and licences work, and when to use which or both.
