+[![NuGet version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/vpre/ModelContextProtocol.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol)
 
 The official C# SDK for the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), enabling .NET applications, services, and libraries to implement and interact with MCP clients and servers. Please visit the [API documentation](https://csharp.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/api/ModelContextProtocol.html) for more details on available functionality.
 
 ## Packages
 
 The SDK packages are:
 
-- **[ModelContextProtocol.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core)** [![NuGet version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/ModelContextProtocol.Core.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core) - For projects that only need to use the client or low-level server APIs and want the minimum number of dependencies.
