Release Notes MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 91 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 1 Jul 2026.
A small, generic MCP server for combining GitHub/GitLab/Gitea releases into product release notes
Today is the operative word: we check Release Notes MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG_JSON (Config (repos + contextSources) as inline JSON, e.g. {"repos":["myorg/web"],"contextSources":[]}. Use this for uvx/hub launches with no file to mount. Either this or RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG is required), RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG (Absolute path to a config.json file (alternative to RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG_JSON). Used when mounting a real file, e.g. in Docker), TOKEN (Auth token for the provider (GitHub PAT / GitLab / Gitea token). Optional for public repos), PROVIDER (Forge to read releases from: github | gitlab | gitea. Defaults to github), BASE_URL (API base URL — only for self-hosted GitLab or Gitea/Forgejo).
