+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or exemplary damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

 ### The Three Pillars
 
-1. **Portable:** Define your engineering rules once. ContextOS exports optimized configurations for all major AI editors (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, Zed).
-2. **Minimal:** The dynamic resolver selects only the relevant skills and rules needed for a specific task, eliminating prompt bloat and token waste.

+2. **Focused:** The resolver selects rules and skills relevant to a task so agents receive less unrelated context.
 3. **Verifiable:** Lockfiles, provenance, drift detection, and CI gates make generated agent configuration reproducible and auditable.

-## ContextOS MCP Bridge (Beta)
+## Optional MCP integration (Beta)
 
-ContextOS provides a read-only **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server to allow compatible agents (like Claude Desktop) to dynamically read project rules, resolve context, and check project status.
+The MCP server is a separate beta package. It is not part of the stable `contextos-agents` core.
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> **Separation of Concerns:** The MCP Bridge and experimental runtime orchestration tools are distributed separately in the `@contextos/mcp` package (Beta). The `--with-mcp` flag in the Core CLI is deprecated.
+Install it separately if you want to try the beta integration:
 
-Install the optional MCP Bridge:
-
-`ash
+```bash
 npm install --save-dev @contextos/mcp
 npx contextos-mcp --dir .
-`
+```
 
-The MCP Bridge is read-only by default. Experimental execution tools require
-the explicit --enable-runtime flag and should only be used in trusted repositories.
+The MCP server is read-only by default. Runtime execution remains experimental and is outside the stable core scope.
