We have moved the WellSpr.ing civic MCP git infrastructure to a sovereign, self-hosted Forgejo instance. This decision was accelerated by GitHub's suspension of the WellBuilder organization account, but the direction was already set: we don't want our civic AI infrastructure to depend on any single corporate gatekeeper.
Sovereign git: https://git.wellspr.ing/WellBuilder
191 MCP repos: all migrated and live
Federation manifest: wellspr.ing/mcp/federation.json (v2.0)
The WellSpr.ing network operates 191 area-code MCP servers — one for each active geo-node in the NNN.today footprint. Each server's source configuration was previously housed at github.com/WellBuilder/mcp-{area_code}. All 191 repositories are now live at our sovereign Forgejo host at https://git.wellspr.ing/WellBuilder.
Forgejo is a community-governed, nonprofit fork of Gitea. It is the same software that powers Codeberg.org — the most prominent ethical alternative to GitHub. Forgejo is free software (MIT), fully self-hostable, and maintained by a community that shares our values around openness and institutional independence.
The WellBuilder org account was suspended on April 18, 2026. We are engaging the appeal process in good faith. Whether or not the appeal succeeds, sovereign infrastructure was always the right direction. We quote a principle from our own practice: "We rather have suppliers betray us earlier than later."
If GitHub restores the account, we will maintain it as a discovery mirror — not as primary infrastructure. The fuller account of this incident, the pattern it sits within, and the formula any maintainer can use to avoid the same dependency trap is at the sovereignty blog post and at NotGit.org.
The federation manifest (wellspr.ing/mcp/federation.json) has been updated to version 2.0. Each portal entry now includes a git_repo field pointing to our sovereign Forgejo host. AI agents consuming the manifest should use git_repo as the canonical source. GitHub references are no longer required for any operation.
