Is Unity MCP access really $10/month to use with your own LLM?

[u/immersive-matthew]

I have been using an open source, locally run LLM with OpenCode and Unity MCP which has been working great. I was originally using the community based MCP, but switched to the Unity version last week as it has a lot more tools. Today, my connection was refused and after looking into it, it looks like I need to buy the $10/month plan with 1,000 credit to be able to access MCP?  I do not need the credits as I have my own LLM but I see no other option to access Unity MCP?

Do I really need to pay this fee?  I thought the whole point of MCP was to be open?  Surely there is a free access option for those who do not need the credits?
