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:
- Hosted server (easiest, works in any MCP client)
- 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
