+> ## 📦 This repository — Webflow's open-source (OSS) MCP server — is being archived
+>
+> **The Webflow MCP is not going away. We're investing in it more than ever.** The only thing changing is *how it's distributed.*
+>
+> This repository, `webflow/mcp-server`, is **Webflow's open-source (OSS) MCP server**. Webflow also runs a **hosted, remote MCP server** at `https://mcp.webflow.com` that you connect to directly — and that hosted server is how customers use the Webflow MCP today. Ongoing development happens against the hosted service, in a separate repository.
+>
+> Because everyone now connects through the hosted server, we're **consolidating onto it** and archiving this open-source repository (it becomes read-only). To be explicit: this is a **distribution change, not a deprecation** of the Webflow MCP — the product is actively developed and growing.
+>
+> ### 🚀 Use the hosted Webflow MCP (recommended — actively developed)
