+## Acknowledgements
+
+The starting point for this library was a project called [mcpdotnet](https://github.com/PederHP/mcpdotnet), initiated by [Peder Holdgaard Pederson](https://github.com/PederHP). We are grateful for the work done by Peder and other contributors to that repository, which created a solid foundation for this library.
