JjCodeMunch

Tested PyPI jcodemunch-mcp 1.108.434 (repo jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp, 2,841 GitHub stars when checked). License: the PyPI metadata names a custom dual-use license (free for non-commercial use, paid license for commercial use), not an OSI license. Stdio, 6 tools in the default tier; most of its 91 actions run through the `order` tool. Real calls on a small local test folder: order index_folder (builds a local index, needs allow_state_change), then search_symbols and search_text found the planted function and string. menu (action catalog) is a self-check and does not count.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 function calls passed (index, symbol search, text search) on a local test folder. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
