| Objective [Heading] | oef_ObjectiveHeading | Investment Objective | ||||||
| Objective, Primary [Text Block] | oef_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock | The fund’s investment objective is to seek total return with an emphasis on high income exempt from U.S. federal income tax, but also considering capital appreciation. |
||||||
| Expense Heading [Optional Text] | oef_ExpenseHeading | Fees and Expenses | ||||||
| Expense Narrative [Text Block] | oef_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay when you buy, hold, and sell shares of the fund. Investors may also pay commissions or other fees to their financial intermediaries when they buy, hold, and sell shares of the fund, which are not reflected below. You may qualify for sales charge reductions if, with respect to Class A shares, you and certain members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in MFS funds. More information about these and other waivers and reductions is available from your financial intermediary and in “Sales Charges and Waivers and Reductions” on page 11 and “Appendix A – Waivers and Reductions of Sales Charges” on page A-1 of the fund’s prospectus. |

| Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | oef_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” or in the “Example,” affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio. |

| Strategy [Heading] | oef_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies | ||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund's investment adviser) normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in municipal instruments. MFS defines municipal instruments as debt instruments issued by or for states, territories, or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities, or other government entities, to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal instruments include general obligation bonds of municipalities, state or local governments, project or revenue-specific bonds, municipal lease obligations, and pre-refunded or escrowed bonds. The fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in securities and other investments, the interest on which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax. However, interest from the fund’s investments may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax. MFS may invest 25% or more of the fund’s total assets in municipal instruments that finance similar types of projects, such as those relating to education, healthcare, housing, utilities, water, or sewers. MFS may invest up to 100% of the fund’s assets in below investment grade quality debt instruments. MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single state, territory, or possession, or a small number of states, territories, or possessions. While MFS may use derivatives for any investment purpose, to the extent MFS uses derivatives, MFS expects to use derivatives primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market, segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives include futures, forward contracts, options, inverse floating rate instruments, and swaps. MFS uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual instruments and their issuers. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate instruments may also be considered. In structuring the fund, MFS also considers top-down factors. For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. |

| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, the fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Investment Selection Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Investment Selection Risk: MFS' investment analysis and its selection of investments may not produce the intended results and/or can lead to an investment focus that results in the fund underperforming other funds with similar investment strategies and/or underperforming the markets in which the fund invests. In addition, to the extent MFS considers quantitative tools in managing the fund, such tools may not produce the intended results. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Debt Market Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Debt Market Risk: Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to changes in, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions. These conditions can affect a single instrument, issuer, or borrower, a particular type of instrument, issuer, or borrower, a segment of the debt markets or the debt markets generally. Certain events can have a dramatic adverse effect on debt markets and may lead to periods of high volatility and reduced liquidity in a debt market or segment of a debt market. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Interest Rate Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Interest Rate Risk: In general, the price of a debt instrument falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Interest rate risk is generally greater for instruments with longer maturities or durations, or that do not pay current interest. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Credit Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Credit Risk: The price of a debt instrument depends, in part, on the credit quality of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or other entity responsible for payment, or underlying collateral or assets and the terms of the instrument. The price of a debt instrument can decline in response to changes in, or perceptions of, the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or other entity, or underlying collateral or assets, or changes in, or perceptions of, specific or general market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions. Debt instruments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, which in turn could negatively affect the market value and liquidity of a debt instrument. The credit quality of, and the ability to pay principal and interest when due by, an issuer of a municipal instrument depends on the credit quality of the entity supporting the municipal instrument, how essential any services supported by the municipal instrument are, the sufficiency of any revenues or taxes that support the municipal instrument, and/or the willingness or ability of the appropriate government entity to approve any appropriations necessary to support the municipal instrument. In addition, the price of a municipal instrument also depends on its credit quality and ability to meet the credit support obligations of any insurer or other entity providing credit support to a municipal instrument. Below investment grade quality debt instruments (commonly referred to as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”) can involve a substantially greater risk of default or can already be in default, and their values can decline significantly. Below investment grade quality debt instruments are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics. Below investment grade quality debt instruments tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general, than higher quality debt instruments. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Municipal Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Municipal Risk: The price of a municipal instrument can be volatile and significantly affected by adverse tax changes or court rulings, legislative or political changes, changes in specific or general market and economic conditions and developments, and the financial condition of municipal issuers and insurers. Because many municipal instruments are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in certain industries can significantly affect the fund and the overall municipal market. Municipal instruments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, which in turn could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in a state, U.S. territory, or possession. In addition, because some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk associated with investments in such municipal securities could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. If such events occur, the value of the security could decrease or the value could be lost entirely, and it may be difficult or impossible to sell the security at the time and the price that normally prevails in the market. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Focus Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Focus Risk: The fund’s performance will be closely tied to the issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions in the states, territories, and possessions of the United States in which the fund's assets are invested. If MFS invests a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single state, territory, or possession, or a small number of states, territories, or possessions, these conditions will have a significant impact on the fund's performance and the fund's performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically-diversified funds. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Prepayment/Extension Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Prepayment/Extension Risk: Instruments subject to prepayment and/or extension can reduce the potential for gain for the instrument’s holders if the instrument is prepaid and increase the potential for loss if the maturity of the instrument is extended. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Derivatives Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Derivatives Risk: Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying indicator(s) on which the derivative is based. Gains or losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. Derivatives can involve leverage. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Leveraging Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Leveraging Risk: Leverage involves investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can cause increased volatility by magnifying gains or losses. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Counterparty and Third Party Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Counterparty and Third Party Risk: Transactions involving a counterparty or third party other than the issuer of the instrument are subject to the credit risk of the counterparty or third party, and to the counterparty’s or third party’s ability or willingness to perform in accordance with the terms of the transaction. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Liquidity Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Liquidity Risk: It may be difficult to value, and it may not be possible to sell, certain investments, types of investments, and/or investments in certain segments of the market, and the fund may have to sell certain of these investments at prices or times that are not advantageous in order to meet redemptions or other cash needs. |
||||||
| MFS Municipal High Income Fund | Large Shareholder Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Large Shareholder Risk: From time to time, shareholders of the fund (which may include institutional investors, financial intermediaries, or other MFS funds) may make relatively large redemptions or purchases of fund shares. These transactions may cause the fund to sell securities or invest additional cash, as the case may be, at disadvantageous prices. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction and other costs or have adverse tax consequences for shareholders of the fund by requiring a sale of portfolio securities. Purchases of a large number of shares may adversely affect the fund's performance to the extent that it takes time to invest new cash and the fund maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. |
