Línea de trabajo
Comienza en el repos toolset y compara los patrones existentes de update_pull_request y delete_file con los cuatro GitHub REST endpoints indicados en el issue. Revisa los tests, toolsnaps y la documentación de la implementación; después, verifica que los cuatro release workflows y la anotación de destructive-operation estén cubiertos.

Descripción
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
The repos toolset can only read releases today (list_releases, get_latest_release, get_release_by_tag). There's no way for an agent to create, edit, or delete a GitHub release, or preview auto-generated release notes, without leaving the MCP flow and asking the user to do it manually in the GitHub UI. This gap covers four REST endpoints that already exist on the GitHub API:
- Create a release —
POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases - Update a release —
PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/{release_id} - Delete a release —
DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/{release_id} - Generate release notes content for a release —
POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/generate-notes
Proposed solution
Add four new tools to the repos toolset:
create_release— creates a release (tag, name, body, draft/prerelease flags, make_latest, generate_release_notes, discussion category).update_release— partial update of an existing release byrelease_id, following the same "only send fields that were provided" pattern already used byupdate_pull_request.delete_release— deletes a release byrelease_id(does not delete the underlying tag), marked with theDestructiveHintannotation likedelete_file.generate_release_notes— calls the preview-only generate-notes endpoint so an agent can show the user what the auto-generated notes would look like before committing to a release.
This lets an agent complete an end-to-end release workflow (tag → generate notes → create release → tweak → publish) entirely through MCP tools.
Example prompts or workflows
- "Tag main as v2.3.0, generate the release notes since v2.2.0, and publish it as a GitHub release."
- "Create a draft release for v1.4.0 so the team can review the notes before it goes out."
- "Update the v1.4.0 release to mark it as the latest release and take it out of draft."
- "Delete the accidental v1.4.0-rc1 release, but leave the tag alone."
- "Show me what the auto-generated release notes would look like for v2.0.0 without creating the release yet."
