What the publisher says

From the GitHub Release MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

gh-release-mcp

An MCP server that lets an agent list and download GitHub release assets — with multi-mirror parallel ranged download and sha256 verification. Zero external binaries (pure Python standard library: no aria2, curl, gh, jq). By embedai.com.cn.

Built for restricted networks: it probes which mirrors support HTTP Range (206), splits a file across mirrors and downloads segments in parallel, then verifies sha256 from GitHub's own asset digest.

Tools
