Sorry, something went wrong.
States that v2 is in alpha with pre-releases published to PyPI as 2.0.0aN, that installers never select a pre-release without an explicit opt-in, that packages depending on mcp should add a <2 upper bound before the stable v2 release, and that v1.x is in maintenance mode and remains recommended for production. This README is also the PyPI project description for stable releases, so the banner uses absolute links and plain blockquote markup.

Adds a short banner to the v1.x README announcing the v2 alpha.
Motivation and Context
v2 pre-releases are about to be published to PyPI as 2.0.0aN. This branch's README is both the repository documentation for the stable line and the PyPI project description for every stable release, so it is the highest-traffic place to tell users three things: v2 is coming and is currently in alpha, installers will not give anyone a pre-release without an explicit opt-in, and packages that depend on mcp should add a <2 upper bound before the stable v2 release lands. It also states v1.x's maintenance-mode status.
The banner uses plain blockquote markup and absolute URLs so it renders correctly on PyPI (no GitHub-only alert syntax, no relative links).
A companion PR on main (#2834) updates that branch's README banner to match.
