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).

Key features of Release Notes Server

  • Smart commit filtering by date or SHA
  • Groups commits by type (features, fixes, documentation, etc.)
  • Enriches commits with Pull Request data when available
  • Includes detailed statistics (total commits, breaking changes, authors)
  • Clean Markdown formatting with emojis and sections
  • Efficient API usage using GitHub’s since parameter

Use cases of Release Notes Server

  • Automatically generate release notes between two specific commits
  • Produce a summary of changes for a new software release
  • Display commit contributions grouped by type for a repository
  • Generate statistics for weekly or monthly development reports
  • Integrate release note generation into CI/CD pipelines
