FAQ from GitHub Releases MCP Server

What is the GitHub token used for?

The token is optional. If provided, it authenticates API requests, allowing access to private repositories and higher API rate limits.

Which MCP clients are supported?

The server works with Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf. Configuration files vary per client; for example, VS Code uses .vscode/settings.json with mcp.servers instead of mcpServers.

What tools does the server provide?

Three tools: github_release_info (details of a specific version), github_releases_compare (differences between two versions), and github_releases_list (formatted list of releases with filtering).

How does the server handle errors?

It gracefully handles invalid repository names, non-existent versions, invalid version formats, API rate limits, network issues, and authentication errors, returning clear error messages.

Is authentication required to use the server?

No. The GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is optional. Without it, you can still access public repositories.
