Release Intel MCP Server
An MCP server that generates release intelligence from GitHub repository data. It correlates commits, pull requests, issues, and contributors between any two git refs and returns structured context ready for AI synthesis into release notes, changelogs, and release summaries. Its README documents 3 tools, including get_changes_between_refs, get_pull_requests_in_range, get_release_summary.
People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
