For developers
Our promise to developers
Paid selling is coming. These are the rules we hold ourselves to before and after it opens.
Seven commitments
- Listing stays free. Listing an open-source agent, MCP server or skill costs nothing, and we will not start charging for a listing that is already free.
- Organic ranking is never for sale. Browse and search order comes from public signals such as stars and activity. Money cannot move a listing up the organic results.
- Paid placement is always labelled. If we ever show sponsored or featured spots, they carry a clear label and sit apart from the organic results.
- Paying never changes a scan. A paid plan cannot change a scan result, a label or an article.
- Your listing is yours to control. Maintainers can claim a listing to edit it, rescan it, or ask us to remove it, and we respond to removal requests within 48 hours.
- You keep your code and your license. We link to your repository and follow its license. We never resell open-source code as our own.
- Changes come with notice. If we change these terms for sellers, we publish the change with at least 30 days' notice before it applies.
Why we publish this
Marketplaces earn trust from developers by being predictable. These rules apply before and after paid selling opens, and they sit alongside our seller agreement and terms of service.
