+The MCP (Model Context Protocol) TypeScript client SDK. Build MCP clients that connect to MCP servers.
+
+> [!WARNING] **This is an alpha release.** Expect breaking changes until v2 stabilizes. We're publishing early to gather feedback — please try it and open issues — but we can't guarantee API stability yet. We'll aim to minimize disruption between alphas.
+
+> [!NOTE] This is **v2** of the MCP TypeScript SDK. It replaces the monolithic `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` package from v1. See the **[migration guide](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/blob/main/docs/migration.md)** if you're coming from v1.
