Ducthinh993 MCP Server Endoflife

🚀 End-of-Life (EOL) MCP Server 📅

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to check the End-of-Life (EOL) dates and support status of software via the endoflife.date API. This helps AI models provide accurate software lifecycle information in real-time.

🚀 Quick Start

The End-of-Life (EOL) MCP Server is designed to empower AI assistants with the ability to access real-time software EOL data. It bridges the gap between AI models and the endoflife.date API, ensuring that users receive up-to-date information about the support status of various software.

✨ Features

• Check the EOL status of mainstream technologies such as Python, Node.js, and Ubuntu.
• Obtain the end date of security support for each version.
• View the latest CVE data.
• Provide upgrade suggestions.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

Human: Can I still use Python 3.8?
Claude: Let me check the status of Python 3.8.
[Call the check_version tool]
According to the EOL data, for Python 3.8:
- End of security support: October 2024
- Current status: Security fixes only
Suggestion: Consider upgrading new projects to Python 3.11.

🔧 Technical Details

• Utilize the endoflife.date API to fetch real-time data.
• Integrate the CVE database query function.
• Automatically generate upgrade suggestions.
