So I am using an LGPL library for some proprietary server-side code I am running. If I modify this code but only use it on my servers am I obligated to release my modifications to the public even if I am not distributing the code or selling it? I will be making money off the services provided through the modified code but not through selling code itself.

no, you're not obligated to release your modifications if you don't distribute your product.

Is this true of most licenses or is this particular to the LGPL? What about the MPL?

I know it's true of the GPL, LGPL, and perl artistic license. I haven't read Mozilla's license. I know the MIT license and BSD License allow you to do prettty much anything you want, including this.
