The {mcpdesc} project is an independent open source initiative led by its
maintainers and open to contributions from the broader community.
While it builds on work that originated at Cisco DevNet — released as open source under the cisco-open GitHub organization — it is not a Cisco product, Cisco service, or official Cisco standardization effort. References to Cisco are provided for attribution to the origins of the initial work.
