release-notes-forge-mcp
Release Notes Forge reads local Git history and turns it into a release shape: commit count, broad change categories, and age buckets.
Quick start
npm install
npm test
npm startUse summarizereleasehistory with a local repository path inside RELEASENOTESROOT. The server never pushes, edits, or contacts a remote repository.
Privacy and limits
Commit messages, hashes, paths, branches, remotes, and author identities are suppressed. This is an aggregate release planning aid, not a changelog generator.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
