gh-release-mcp

An MCP server that lets an agent list and download GitHub release assets — with multi-mirror parallel ranged download and sha256 verification. Zero external binaries (pure Python standard library: no aria2, curl, gh, jq). By embedai.com.cn.

Built for restricted networks: it probes which mirrors support HTTP Range (206), splits a file across mirrors and downloads segments in parallel, then verifies sha256 from GitHub's own asset digest.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_release_assetsList a release's assets (name, size, url).
download_release_assetDownload one asset (by name) or several (by glob pattern) with parallel ranged requests across mirrors; verifies sha256 when available.

Install / run

bash
# run instantly (no install)
uvx gh-release-mcp

# or via pip
pip install gh-release-mcp
gh-release-mcp

It speaks MCP over stdio.
