What
Re-adding the two community entries that were removed in #3398:
Context
These were among the first community spaces ever created for the Model Context Protocol. The subreddit r/modelcontextprotocol was created on November 27, 2024, just weeks after MCP was announced. They were added to this README in #821 (March 2025) and have been active communities since.
They were removed in #3398 by @localden on Feb 24, 2026 with the only explanation being "Removing references, per discussion, as these are at risk" — no further context was given, no notification was sent to me, and the PR was merged within 3 minutes of creation.
@olaservo — you approved and merged #3398. Could you help me understand why these two specific community entries were removed? The PR description mentions they were "at risk" but doesn't clarify what that means. Meanwhile, competing community entries (the Glama Discord and r/mcp) were left untouched in the same README.
Broader context
I've been a believer in MCP since day one — if you check out my repos you'll see that. These communities didn't just exist — they were a meaningful part of the early MCP ecosystem. I contributed to the Inspector, helped shape the protocol through discussions, and spent time individually helping hundreds of people debug their MCP setups. MCP-Framework had HTTP streaming support weeks before the official TypeScript SDK. I was giving feedback to the PulseMCP folks early on and was actively advocating for forming a committee around MCP long before the steering committee existed.
Despite all of that, I was never invited to any of the working groups, interest groups, or governance structures that were eventually set up — and now the community spaces I built are being quietly removed without explanation. I'm not saying this to complain — I'm saying it because I genuinely want to collaborate and contribute to MCP's success. I've been doing that since day one, and I'd love the opportunity to contribute in a more official capacity if you're open to it.
Let's work together on this. I'm always reachable at alex@andru.codes — I'd welcome a conversation.
