Community

The {mcpdesc} Community is made up of individuals who advocate for the benefits of a portable format to describe MCP servers, build tools that support the format, and evolve the specification.

How the project is organized

The {mcpdesc} project uses a lightweight, consensus-oriented governance model with two distinct roles. Check the project governance documentation for more details.

Contributors

Contributors shape the project by proposing, discussing, or submitting improvements — code, docs, specification feedback, examples, articles. Contributions are licensed under Apache-2.0: contributors retain copyright to their work; there is no CLA, no copyright assignment, and no DCO sign-off required.

Maintainers

Maintainers lead the project. They review and merge contributions, guide the roadmap, maintain the MCP Description specification, publish releases, curate the tools catalog, and keep governance, licensing, and attribution coherent.
