Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-intel": {
      "command": "npx",

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add release-intel --env GITHUB_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y @barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Common questions

Is Release Intel safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GITHUB_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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.

Tool page · npm · Listed in the official MCP Registry

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

Tool	What it returns
`get_changes_between_refs`	Commits enriched with merged pull request metadata and linked issues
`get_pull_requests_in_range`	Merged pull requests grouped as breaking, feature, fix, docs, chore, dependency, release, or other
`get_release_summary`	A complete release evidence object with aggregate statistics and contributors

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:

release-intel-report owner/repository v1.4.0 v1.5.0 --json

GitHub Action

Attach the evidence report to the workflow summary before publishing a release:

name: Release evidence

on: workflow_dispatch: inputs: from_ref: required: true to_ref: required: true

jobs: evidence: runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: contents: read pull-requests: read steps:

uses: barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp@v0.7.2 with: from-ref: ${{ inputs.from_ref }} to-ref: ${{ inputs.to_ref }} token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

This action reads repository data and writes Markdown to the job summary. It does not publish a release or modify repository content.

Client setup

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and similar clients

Use the stdio configuration from the quickstart. The server entry is identical across these clients even when their config file locations differ.

VS Code with Copilot

Create .vscode/mcp.json:

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

Streamable HTTP

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_read_only_token \

npx @barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp --http

The MCP endpoint is http://localhost:3000/mcp and the health endpoint is http://localhost:3000/health. Set PORT to change the port.

Docker

docker build -t release-intel-mcp .

docker run -p 3000:3000 \ -e GITHUB_TOKEN=your_read_only_token \ release-intel-mcp

Connect an HTTP client to http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Local development

npm install

npm test npm run build GITHUB_TOKEN=your_read_only_token node dist/index.js

Requirements: Node.js 18 or newer.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the development workflow.

Security and limits

Use a fine-grained, read-only token restricted to the required repositories.
The server never needs permission to write releases, issues, or pull requests.
GitHub's compare endpoint limits very large ranges. The response reports truncation.
Unlinked direct commits remain visible but cannot inherit pull request metadata.
Release categories are evidence-backed heuristics, not editorial conclusions.
