 ## Getting started
 
-This repository depends on the [MCP TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/). Until these repositories are made public and published to npm, the SDK has to be preinstalled manually:

+Clone this repository, then install its dependencies:
 
 ```sh
 npm install
