- Around line 109-111: Update the product casing in the link text "MCP Server
Quick Start - Typescript" to use the correct branding "TypeScript"; locate the
link label in the MCP guide content (the string "MCP Server Quick Start -
Typescript") and change it to "MCP Server Quick Start - TypeScript" so the
rendered link displays the proper casing.
- Around line 92-93: The note in the MCP guide contains inconsistent template
variable spacing: replace the inline occurrence of "{{product_name}}" in the
note text with the project's standard "{{ product_name }}" formatting so it
matches other occurrences in the document (search for the string
"{{product_name}}" and update it to "{{ product_name }}").
- Around line 101-103: Update the text for the "OpenID Connect Core 1.0" line:
replace the awkward phrase "Verifies the identity of users and agents
interactions." with a grammatically correct version such as "Verifies the
identity of users and agents in interactions." so the entry for OpenID Connect
Core 1.0 reads clearly about verifying user and agent identities during
interactions.

It enables secure, auditable agentic systems for autonomous agents by providing clear attribution, better permission management, clear auditability, and enhanced security. |

Fix inconsistent template variable spacing.
Line 93 uses {{product_name}}, while the rest of the doc uses {{ product_name }}. Use a consistent template style to avoid rendering or style inconsistencies.

Remove trailing comma in the “What’s Next?” lead-in.
The sentence ends with a comma and no continuation; tighten the punctuation.
