Using the Releasebot MCP Server

The Releasebot MCP server lets AI assistants query your release note feed in real time.

There are two ways to connect:

  1. Hosted server (easiest, works in any MCP client)
  2. Self-hosted via npm (run the server yourself, useful if you want full control)

Option 1: Hosted server

The hosted MCP server is at:

https://releasebot.io/mcp

You can see an example of it in practice: https://claude.ai/share/1dd2980e-f5e0-4f38-bd77-99f84d95bd89


Option 2: Self-hosted via npm
