When NOT to use mcp-use
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Do not use if your project requires a different programming language, as mcp-use strictly supports TypeScript.
- Avoid using it when your application does not need integration with ChatGPT and Claude, since the framework is specifically designed for these two platforms.
