@releasebot-io/mcp

MCP server for Releasebot — give any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) the ability to search software vendors, products, and release notes.

Powered by Releasebot, which automatically discovers and aggregates release notes and changelogs from thousands of software vendors and products.

MCP access is also available via our hosted server at https://releasebot.io/mcp — no install required.

Getting an API key

1. Sign up for a free account at https://releasebot.io/sign-up
2. Generate a key at https://releasebot.io/notifications — keys look like rb_ followed by 32 characters.

Free accounts start with 250 API credits. See plans at https://releasebot.io/billing.

Setup

Add Releasebot to any MCP client. Example for Claude Desktop / Cursor (claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "releasebot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@releasebot-io/mcp"],
      "env": { "RELEASEBOT_API_KEY": "rb_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}

If you've already run releasebot auth set (via @releasebot-io/cli), the server picks up the key from ~/.releasebot/credentials.json and you can omit the env block.
