The hosted API at mcp.gapup.io is governed separately by the Gapup Terms of Service. The MIT grant does NOT cover commercial API usage at scale — that's a per-call x402 settlement.
The server implementation itself is private (closed-source). This repository contains zero server source code — only the public surface (manifests + docs + examples) that lets clients integrate with the hosted endpoint.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
