FAQ

Is JustClaw-It a library I install?

No. It is a hosted MCP server. The CLI only writes a config entry (and optional agent skills) into your agents; searches run on our side and return code, scores and licences.

What does it cost?

Search is free on every plan. Each pull (get_component) is 1 credit. Free: 30 credits on day one, then 10 a day. Solo $10, Indie $19 and Pro $49 a month refill weekly. Every plan is a hard cap; there is no overage billing. Prices exclude sales tax where it applies. Credits & plans.

How do I cancel?

Sign in to your account page and press Manage billing / Cancel. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. Refund policy.

Do I need an API key to search?

Yes. Search costs no credits, but every call needs a key so we can rate-limit it fairly. A free key takes a minute at /signup.

Can I use the code in a commercial product?

Usually yes, under the component's own licence. The public library only serves permissive (MIT, BSD, Apache-2.0, ISC and similar) and weak-copyleft (MPL-2.0 and similar) code. Keep the attribution header and ship the licence notices; for weak-copyleft files, keep your changes to those files under the same licence. Use license: "permissive" to avoid weak copyleft altogether. Licences & attribution.

Is the code reviewed or tested?

Not by people, and not by running it. Components are graded automatically (Scores & ranking) and filtered by licence. Treat a pulled component like any code from the internet: read it, test it, and check its dependencies.

Which languages are covered?

The language filter accepts c, cpp, csharp, dart, go, java, javascript, kotlin, php, python, ruby, rust, shell, sql, svelte, swift, typescript, vue. Coverage varies by language, so if a filtered search comes back thin, try without language and check the language field of the results.

Where does the code come from?

Public open-source repositories on GitHub with a licence we could identify. The full list of repositories, licences and copyright holders is at /licenses.

How fresh is it?

New repositories are ingested continuously; the status page shows when the last ingest ran. Licence data is re-checked monthly.

Is the ranking sponsored?

No. Nobody pays for placement. Ranking is similarity plus the quality score, with a small positive-only reputation tiebreaker for well-known repositories (Scores & ranking).

How is this different from Context7, 21st.dev or GitHub search?

Context7 serves library documentation; JustClaw-It serves whole components of real code with their licence. 21st.dev is a curated React and Tailwind UI catalogue; JustClaw-It covers backend and full-stack code in many languages. GitHub code search finds text matches but leaves licence, quality and whole-component extraction to you. The blog has fair, detailed comparisons: vs 21st.dev, vs Context7, vs GitHub MCP, vs Smithery and MCP directories.

What do you log?

Tool calls per key (time, tool, credits, number of results, and the query or id you sent, cut to 200 characters). Search text is kept for 90 days. We do not sell data or show ads. Privacy policy.

Can teams share an account?

Pro accounts can hold up to 3 API keys, one per person or machine. Keys can't be shared outside your account (terms).

Can I sign in with OAuth instead of a key?

Not yet for the public: OAuth sign-in exists but is invite-only. Use an API key.

Who runs JustClaw-It?

Is the service up?
