What the publisher says
From the Release Intel repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
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.

}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.

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.
