Setup

All options require a GitHub personal access token with repo read access. Generate one at: https://github.com/settings/tokens


Option A: stdio (local process)

The standard approach: the MCP client spawns the server as a local subprocess.

}

Option B: HTTP (remote / stateless)

Run the server as an HTTP endpoint. Useful for remote clients, shared team deployments, or clients that prefer URL-based connections.

GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token npx @barissozudogru/release-intel-mcp --http

By default this starts on port 3000. Set PORT to change it.

Cursor (HTTP)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-intel": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code + Copilot (HTTP)

{
  "servers": {
    "release-intel": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf (HTTP)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "release-intel": {
      "serverUrl": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Continue.dev (HTTP)

mcpServers:
  - name: release-intel
    type: streamable-http
    url: http://localhost:3000/mcp

A health check endpoint is available at GET /health.


Option C: Docker

docker build -t release-intel-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token release-intel-mcp

The container starts in HTTP mode by default. The MCP endpoint is at http://localhost:3000/mcp.
