Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG_JSON` Optional	Config (repos + contextSources) as inline JSON, e.g. {"repos":["myorg/web"],"contextSources":[]}. Use this for uvx/hub launches with no file to mount. Either this or RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG is required.
`RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG` Optional	Absolute path to a config.json file (alternative to RELEASE_MCP_CONFIG_JSON). Used when mounting a real file, e.g. in Docker.
`TOKEN` Optional, secret	Auth token for the provider (GitHub PAT / GitLab / Gitea token). Optional for public repos.
`PROVIDER` Optional	Forge to read releases from: github \| gitlab \| gitea. Defaults to github.
`BASE_URL` Optional	API base URL — only for self-hosted GitLab or Gitea/Forgejo.
