The software consists of a compiler that translates instrument and component definitions to C code.
The basics of McStas was written in 1997 at Risø for simulation of their neutron experiments. It is currently developed at Risø (even though their reactors has been shut down) and Institut Laue-Langevin, with recent added involvement from the Niels Bohr Institute and Paul Scherrer Institute.
