+# 🚀 Deployment Readiness Copilot
+
+**Multi-agent AI system for deployment readiness validation and documentation generation**
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+The Deployment Readiness Copilot is a productivity-focused, developer-centric tool that automates deployment readiness checks using a multi-agent architecture. It combines Claude's reasoning with sponsor LLMs (Gemini/OpenAI) and MCP tool integration to provide comprehensive pre-deployment validation.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **🤖 Multi-Agent Pipeline**: Planner → Evidence Gatherer → Synthesis → Documentation → Reviewer
+- **🔧 MCP Tool Integration**: Real-time deployment signals from Hugging Face Spaces, Vercel, and other MCP-compatible services
+- **🎓 Sponsor LLM Support**: Cross-validation using Google Gemini 2.0 and OpenAI GPT-4o-mini
+- **📝 Auto-Documentation**: Generates changelog entries, README snippets, and announcement drafts
+- **✅ Risk Assessment**: Automated review with confidence scoring and actionable findings
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+### Agents
+
+1. **Planner Agent (Claude)**: Analyzes project context and generates deployment readiness checklist
+2. **Evidence Agent (Claude + MCP)**: Gathers real deployment signals via MCP tools
+3. **Synthesis Agent (Gemini/OpenAI)**: Cross-validates evidence using sponsor LLMs
+4. **Documentation Agent (Claude)**: Generates deployment communications
+5. **Reviewer Agent (Claude)**: Final risk assessment with confidence scoring
+
+### MCP Tools Used
+
+- Hugging Face Spaces status checks
+- Vercel deployment validation
+- (Extensible to other MCP-compatible services)
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+1. **Set Environment Variables** (in HF Space Secrets):
+   - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Claude API key
+   - `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`: For Gemini synthesis (optional)
+   - `OPENAI_API_KEY`: For OpenAI synthesis (optional)
+   - `HF_TOKEN`: For Hugging Face MCP tools
+
+2. **Run the Pipeline**:
+   - Enter project details (name, release goal, code summary)
+   - Add infrastructure notes and stakeholders
+   - Click "Run Readiness Pipeline"
+   - Review the multi-agent output and sponsor LLM synthesis
+
+## 📋 Example Usage
+
+```
+Project: Telemetry API
+Release Goal: Enable adaptive sampling
+Code Summary: Adds config surface, toggles feature flag, bumps schema version.
+Stakeholders: eng, sre
+```
+
+The system will:
+1. Generate a deployment readiness plan
+2. Gather evidence via MCP tools
+3. Synthesize findings with sponsor LLMs
+4. Create documentation artifacts
+5. Provide final review with risk assessment
+
+## 🎯 Hackathon Submission
+
+**Track**: `mcp-in-action-track-2` (MCP in Action)
+
+**Key Highlights**:
+- ✅ Autonomous multi-agent behavior with planning, reasoning, and execution
+- ✅ MCP servers used as tools (HF Spaces, Vercel)
+- ✅ Gradio 6 app with MCP server support (`mcp_server=True`)
+- ✅ Sponsor LLM integration (Gemini, OpenAI)
+- ✅ Real-world productivity use case for developers
+
+## 🔧 Technical Stack
+
+- **Gradio 5.49.1**: UI framework with MCP server support
+- **Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet**: Primary reasoning engine
+- **Google Gemini 2.0 Flash**: Sponsor LLM for evidence synthesis
+- **OpenAI GPT-4o-mini**: Alternative sponsor LLM
+- **Hugging Face Hub**: MCP client for tool integration
