release-notes-mcp

A generic MCP server that fetches and bundles raw release data from GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea repositories. It aggregates releases from multiple repos into a single product release note, leaving the synthesis of the final notes to the LLM. It supports configuration via JSON files or environment variables and requires minimal read-only permissions.
