 Only the newest release of a supported line receives fixes, so reproduce against
 it before reporting. If your project depends on `mcp` and is not yet ready for
-2.x, constrain to `mcp>=1.28,<2` and follow the
+2.x, keep a `<2` upper bound on your `mcp` requirement and follow the
 [migration guide](https://py.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/migration/) when you
 migrate.
