### Description (declared)

# package-upgrade-mcp

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.Hasilt/package-upgrade-mcp -->

An MCP server that helps an LLM plan dependency upgrades without drowning in
changelog text. Point it at a manifest file and it tells you what's
outdated, how risky each upgrade looks, and — only for the packages worth
worrying about — pulls the actual breaking-change notes.

Supported manifests: `package.json` (npm), `requirements.txt` (PyPI),
`pubspec.yaml` (pub.dev), `Cargo.toml` (crates.io).

No API keys required — every registry it talks to (npm, PyPI, pub.dev,
crates.io, GitHub) is public.

## Why it's split into stages

Fetching full release notes for every dependency in a real project would
burn a huge amount of context for basically no benefit, since most upgrades
are patch/minor bumps with nothing breaking in them. So the server does the
boring, deterministic part itself and only reaches for text when it's
actually warranted:

1. **Cheap and always called** — `scan_manifest` / `check_upgrades` return
   current vs. latest version, the semver delta, and a risk level computed
   from version math plus registry metadata (deprecated/yanked flags). No
   changelog text, just one registry lookup per dependency.
2. **Targeted, only for what's flagged** — `get_breaking_change_excerpts`
   fetches changelog or release-note text and runs it through a heuristic
   filter that keeps the parts that look like breaking-change
   announcements (`## Breaking`, `BREAKING CHANGE:`, removed/renamed/
   deprecated notes, migration guides) and throws away routine feature/fix
   entries. `get_raw_changelog` is there too, for the rare case the
   filtered excerpt isn't enough.

The server never decides "this will take 3 days" or writes the upgrade plan
itself — that synthesis is left to whichever LLM is calling it. Its job
ends at handing over small, pre-digested findings instead of a wall of
release notes.
