github-api-releases

Explore GitHub repository release versions using semantic versioning (major.minor.patch). Supports adjacent-version lookup, filtered listing, and latest-version retrieval at major, minor, or patch granularity. Non-semver tags are skipped.

Tool

Endpoint

POST /api/tools/github-api

Input Schema

owner *
string
GitHub repository owner (username or organization)
repo *
string
GitHub repository name
mode *
string
Operation mode: - "adjacent": Returns { target, prior, newer } - neighbors at granularity level (null at boundaries) - "list": Returns { target, versions } - all versions within the target range - "latest": Returns { latest } - most recent version Requires "version" for adjacent and list modes.
granularity *
string
Version granularity for grouping and output: - "major": X.x.x notation (e.g., "1.x.x", "2.x.x") - "minor": X.Y.x notation (e.g., "1.3.x", "2.0.x") - "patch": Actual tags (e.g., "v1.3.5") Input version is normalized to match (e.g., "v1.3.5" at minor granularity becomes "1.3.x").
version
string
Target version (required for adjacent/list, ignored for latest). Accepts: - Tags: "v1.3.5" or "1.3.5" - X-notation: "1.3.x" or "1.x.x" Normalized to granularity level in output.
includeDrafts
boolean
Include draft releases (default: false)
includePrereleases
boolean
Include prerelease versions (default: false)
