Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Release, support and end-of-life dates for about 490 languages, OSes, databases and frameworks

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 2 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 6 things (tools) eol_latest_release, eol_unsupported_releases, eol_products_by_category, eol_products_by_vendor_tag …
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http software-lifecycle https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/software-lifecycle --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "software-lifecycle": {
      "url": "https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/software-lifecycle",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "software-lifecycle": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp/software-lifecycle",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Optional. Bearer for more than the free daily allowance; free key from POST https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/keys

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • eol_latest_release

    What is the latest version of a product right now? Returns the newest release cycle, its latest patch version and date, release date, support status and end-of-life date. Live data avoids out-of-date answers about "the latest Python/Node/PostgreSQL". Source: endoflife.date (commu

  • eol_unsupported_releases

    Which versions of a product are already end of life? Lists the release cycles past their end-of-life date, newest first, with the end-of-life date, the last patch version and whether extended (often paid) support is still available. Useful for security audits and spotting outdate

  • eol_products_by_category

    List the products endoflife.date tracks in one category: operating systems, databases, programming languages, frameworks, server applications, cloud services, applications, devices or standards. Returns each product slug, name, aliases and tags so you can then look up release dat

  • eol_products_by_vendor_tag

    List the products endoflife.date tracks under one tag, usually a vendor (microsoft, amazon, google, oracle, red-hat), a family (linux-distribution) or a runtime (php-runtime, javascript-runtime). Answers "which Microsoft products have end-of-life dates" before you look up each on

  • eol_product_search

    Find the endoflife.date product slug for an everyday name or alias ("postgres", "k8s", "node", "windows server") and check whether a product is tracked at all. Matches names, labels and aliases and returns the best matches first. Use it before the other end-of-life tools. Source:

  • eol_tags

    List every tag endoflife.date uses to group products: vendors (microsoft, amazon, google), families (linux-distribution) and runtimes (php-runtime, java-runtime). Use it to find a valid tag for eol_products_by_vendor_tag. Source: endoflife.date; tags are the project's own groupin

Common questions

Is UK Data: Software end-of-life dates safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.5.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, MCP Server Autocad Lisp Helper
