Overview

What is Release Notes Server?

Release Notes Server is an MCP server that generates beautiful release notes from GitHub repositories. It fetches commits, organizes them by type (features, fixes, etc.), and presents them in a clean, readable Markdown format with emojis and statistics. It is designed for developers and teams who need to produce structured release summaries from GitHub projects.

How to use Release Notes Server?

Install the package via npm install and build it with npm run build. Add the server to your MCP configuration by specifying the node command pointing to the built index.js and providing a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for repository access. Invoke the generate_release_notes tool with parameters for owner, repo name, commit range (optional from/to SHA), and format options (type, grouping, statistics).

Frequently asked questions

What authentication is required to use Release Notes Server?

A GitHub personal access token with repository access must be provided via the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable.

What output format does the server produce?

The release notes are generated in Markdown format, with sections for each commit type (e.g., 🚀 Features, 🐛 Fixes) and optional statistics.

How does the server filter commits?

Commits are filtered by a date range or by commit SHA using GitHub’s `since` parameter when possible, with fallback to SHA-based filtering as needed.

What parameters does the `generate_release_notes` tool accept?

It accepts `owner`, `repo`, a `commitRange` object with optional `fromCommit` and `toCommit` strings, and a `format` object specifying output type (`markdown`), grouping method (`type`), and whether to include statistics.

Are there any known performance limits?

The server handles pagination efficiently and maintains newest-first ordering, but no specific rate limits or runtime constraints are documented in the README.
