Last updated: March 5, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Harbor ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Software.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Software. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

Description of Service

Harbor is an open-source desktop application and command-line tool for discovering, installing, and managing MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers across multiple host applications. The Software runs locally on your device.

License

Harbor is distributed under the MIT License. Your use of the source code is governed by that license. These Terms of Service govern your use of the Software as a product and supplement (but do not replace) the MIT License.

Use at Your Own Risk

The Software is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

Third-Party Services

Harbor integrates with third-party services including MCP servers, the Smithery marketplace, and OAuth providers. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Harbor authors or contributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Software.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Harbor authors and contributors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Software, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

Termination

You may stop using the Software at any time by uninstalling it from your device. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software (or any part of it) at any time without notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) will survive.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Material changes will be announced via GitHub releases. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of California.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the MIT License, constitute the entire agreement between you and Harbor regarding your use of the Software.
