    *Updated: Github repo for open sourced MCP project*
    MCP is a protocol that AI agents can speak, like a universal API, so
    that if other programs also speak MCP, then AI can work with it.
    Company is going to do some MCP project to work with CloudConnexa,
    maybe in the future Access Server.
    They want to open source this and ask for a repo to publish it in.
    This is a bit similar to this
    project;https://github.com/OpenVPN/terraform-provider-cloudconnexawhich
    was started elsewhere but got published to open source.
    Seems like community has no objections to this, so will relay that
    approval back to company.

As always you're welcome to join at #openvpn-meeting on Libera IRC 
network every Wednesday at 14:00 Central European Time.

Kind regards,
Johan Draaisma
