Do MCP servers cost money?

The MCP servers themselves are free and open-source (most are NPM packages from Anthropic or community maintainers). What you might pay for: (a) the underlying service the MCP wraps, e.g. GitHub MCP needs a GitHub account (free tier OK for personal repos), Sentry MCP needs a Sentry plan, Atlassian MCP needs Jira/Confluence licences. (b) the Anthropic API tokens consumed when Claude calls the MCP, but MCP calls are typically < 200 tokens each, so the marginal cost is < $0.01 per call. Our recipes default to free-tier MCPs wherever possible.
