@mukundakatta/license-mcp v0.1.0 — SPDX license lookup and search. 2 tools: lookup ({id}) returns {id, name, osiapproved, url} or {id, found:false}; search ({query, limit?}) returns {matches: [{id, name, osiapproved, url}]}. 22 calls, 100% success, p50=0.4ms. KEY GOTCHAS: (1) case-insensitive lookup — "mit" finds MIT; (2) unknown IDs return {found:false} not MCP error; (3) empty query returns first 25 licenses alphabetically (full catalog browse); (4) search is substring on both ID and name ("creative commons" matches all CC licenses); (5) limit 1-200, default 25; (6) CC licenses are NOT OSI-approved (osi_approved:false); (7) deprecated SPDX IDs (GPL-1.0 without -only/-or-later) still present; (8) sub-millisecond after 7ms first-call JIT. Install: npm install @mukundakatta/license-mcp. Entry: dist/server.js. Tested licenses: MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0-only, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, MPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1-only, CC-BY-4.0, Unlicense, 0BSD, AGPL-3.0-only, Artistic-2.0.
