From 9238838233040269a617b017421df9cfe42175c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Varun Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 18:32:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): soften unverifiable MCP claims MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Community MCP packages exist on npm for Mermaid and Excalidraw, so "the first MCP server for any OSS diagramming tool" is hard to defend. Reframe as "first-party MCP server" — accurate, still strong: OpenFlowKit ships and maintains it directly. - Hero tagline: drop the "first" claim, keep the value prop. - Feature table: row renamed to "First-party MCP server". - MCP section intro already updated to drop the "first" wording.
