Fix 404 links in v1 README to renamed example files#2822
Merged
Conversation
The v1 README (frozen on main) links to examples/snippets/servers/ fastmcp_quickstart.py and examples/fastmcp/icons_demo.py on the main branch, but those files were renamed there as part of the FastMCP -> MCPServer rename, so both links now 404. Point them at the v1.x branch, where the files still exist and match the documented v1 API.
The remaining example links still resolved on main, but the files there were rewritten for v2 (FastMCP -> MCPServer), so they showed code that no longer matches the v1 API this README documents. Point every example link at v1.x, matching the two 404 fixes. The LICENSE link stays on main; the file is identical on both branches. Committed with SKIP=readme-v1-frozen like the previous commit.

Summary
The v1
README.md(frozen onmainuntil v2 ships) links to two example files on themainbranch that were renamed as part of theFastMCP→MCPServerrename, so both links now 404:examples/snippets/servers/fastmcp_quickstart.py(linked directly under the Quickstart)examples/fastmcp/icons_demo.pyThis points both links at the
v1.xbranch instead, where the files still exist and match the v1 API the README documents.No content changes to the frozen v1 docs — links only (committed with
SKIP=readme-v1-frozen).Verification
Checked every
blob/mainlink inREADME.mdagainst files onmain— these were the only two missing. Confirmed both paths exist onv1.xviagit ls-tree origin/v1.x.
