Implementation Reference

• src/operations/releases.ts:160-173 (handler)

  Core handler function that executes the DELETE request to the GitHub Releases API to delete the specified release.

  export async function deleteRelease(
    github_pat: string,
    owner: string,
    repo: string,
    release_id: number
  ): Promise<void> {
    await githubRequest(
      github_pat,
      `https://api.github.com/repos/${owner}/${repo}/releases/${release_id}`,
      {
        method: "DELETE",
      }
    );
  }

• src/index.ts:551-557 (handler)

  MCP tool dispatcher case that parses arguments, calls the deleteRelease function, and returns success response.

  case "delete_release": {
    const args = releases._DeleteReleaseSchema.parse(params.arguments);
    await releases.deleteRelease(args.github_pat, args.owner, args.repo, args.release_id);
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: true }, null, 2) }],
    };
  }

• src/operations/releases.ts:82-90 (schema)

  Zod schemas defining the input parameters for the delete_release tool, used for validation and JSON schema generation.

  export const DeleteReleaseSchema = z.object({
    owner: z.string().describe("Repository owner (username or organization)"),
    repo: z.string().describe("Repository name"),
    release_id: z.number().describe("The ID of the release")
  });
  
  export const _DeleteReleaseSchema = DeleteReleaseSchema.extend({
    github_pat: z.string().describe("GitHub Personal Access Token"),
  });

• src/index.ts:174-178 (registration)

  Tool registration in the list of tools provided by the MCP server.

  {
    name: "delete_release",
    description: "Delete a release from a GitHub repository",
    inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(releases.DeleteReleaseSchema),
  },
