 # MCP Create Server
 
-[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/create-mcp-server)](https://pypi.org/project/create-mcp-server/) [![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
+This project is now deprecated.
 
-Create [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server projects with no build configuration.
-
-## Quick Overview
-
-```sh
-# Using uvx (recommended)
-uvx create-mcp-server
-
-# Or using pip
-pip install create-mcp-server
-create-mcp-server
-```
-
-You don't need to install or configure any dependencies manually. The tool will set up everything you need to create an MCP server.
-
-## Creating a Server
-
-**You'll need to have [UV](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) >= 0.4.10 installed on your machine.**
-
-To create a new server, run either of these commands:
-
-### Using uvx (recommended)
-```sh
-uvx create-mcp-server
-```
-
-### Using pip
-```sh
-pip install create-mcp-server
-create-mcp-server
-```
-
-It will walk you through creating a new MCP server project. When complete, you'll have a new directory with this structure:
-
-```
-my-server/
-├── README.md
-├── pyproject.toml
-└── src/
-    └── my_server/
-        ├── __init__.py
-        ├── __main__.py
-        └── server.py
-```
-
-No configuration or complicated folder structures, only the files you need to run your server.
-
-Once installation is done, you can start the server:
-
-```sh
-cd my-server
-uv sync --dev --all-extras
-uv run my-server
-```
-
-## Features
-
-- Simple command-line interface for creating new projects
-- Auto-configures Claude Desktop app integration when available
-- Uses [uvx](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) for fast, reliable package management and project creation
-- Sets up basic MCP server structure
-- Uses the [Model Context Protocol Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) for the server project
-
-## Philosophy
-
-- **Zero Configuration:** No need to manually set up project structure or dependencies.
-- **Best Practices:** Follows Python packaging standards and MCP server patterns.
-- **Batteries Included:** Comes with everything needed to start building an MCP server.
