Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog) Scored 2026-10-16. - **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100 - Malware scan not yet available for this package. - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies. - Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. - **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100 - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to zishuowang696/gh-release-mcp). - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT). - Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago). - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 73/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (good). - Tool/resource definitions use about 240 tokens (~120/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100 - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window). - **Tool Coverage**: 94/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 82% of tool parameters carry a description. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation. - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it. - **Capabilities**: 20/100 - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. **Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm. ## Install ### How do I install the GitHub Release MCP server? GitHub Release MCP runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx gh-release-mcp.

Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims. ### 2026-10-16 (score 62) First indexed and scored. ## MCP tools (2) ### `list_release_assets` (~76 tokens) List the downloadable assets of a GitHub release (name, size, url).
