Tradeoffs	− Core execution and auth depend on the hosted metered service billed per tool call − Only the SDKs are open source; self-hosting is gated behind enterprise plans	− Most listings are community-published, so server quality varies − Registry and hosting platform are proprietary; only the CLI and tooling are open source
