Release Intel MCP server

release-intel-mcp

Build release context from repository evidence instead of a blank prompt. The server compares two Git refs and correlates commits, merged pull requests, linked issues, labels, changed files, and contributors into a structured release record.

Start in one minute

Create a fine-grained GitHub token with read-only access to the repositories you want to inspect. Repository contents and pull requests are sufficient for the current tools. No write permission is needed.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-intel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_read_only_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask the client for a bounded range:

Use release-intel to build release evidence for owner/repository
from v1.4.0 to v1.5.0. Separate merged PRs from direct commits
and preserve links to the repository record.

The token stays in the local server process and is sent only to the GitHub API.

Proof on this repository

A verified run against the stable range v0.5.1...8a2f350 returned:

Repository:        barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp
Commits:           14
Merged PRs:        1
Files changed:     12
Lines added:       286
Lines deleted:     135
Contributors:      1

The response also includes commit SHAs, messages, authors, pull request categories, linked issues, and warnings when GitHub truncates or fails part of the evidence lookup.

If this saves you time, consider starring the repository. It helps other developers find it.

Tools

The categorization uses labels and conventional title signals. Repository labels, issue links, and pull request hygiene directly affect the result. The server provides evidence and structure; the final release narrative still needs review.

Release report command

The package includes a terminal command that produces Markdown by default:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_read_only_token \
  npx --yes --package @barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp \
  release-intel-report owner/repository v1.4.0 v1.5.0

Use --json when another tool will consume the report:
