MCP Server: app.openkrill/dev-facts

This MCP server provides software end-of-life dates, open-source license information, browser support for web features, and RFC facts. It is described by the repository metadata as a data source for developers who need factual references across lifecycle status, licensing, compatibility, and standards.

🛠️ Key Features

Software end-of-life dates
Open-source license details
Browser support information for web features
RFC facts

🚀 Use Cases

Checking end-of-life status for software
Verifying open-source licensing information
Determining browser feature support for web development
Looking up RFC-related facts for standards context

⚡ Developer Benefits

Central access to end-of-life, licensing, browser support, and RFC facts
Developer-focused factual reference categories based on the provided description

⚠️ Limitations

Only the described categories are supported: end-of-life dates, open-source licenses, browser support, and RFC facts

Captured live from the server via tools/list.

get_eol_status

Get end-of-life status. Use this when the user asks whether a software version is still supported or when it reaches end of life, such as "is Node.js 20 still supported?" or "which Python versions get security fixes?". Pass the product (nodejs, python, ubuntu, postgresql and so on) and optionally a version or release cycle. With a version it returns that cycle's end-of-life date, whether it has passed, LTS dates and the latest patch. Without one it returns the release cycles that are still supported. Data comes from endoflife.date, maintained by volunteers: confirm with the vendor for contract or compliance decisions. Not for package vulnerabilities.

Parameters2

product	string	required	Product name as people write it, such as "nodejs", "python", "ubuntu" or "postgresql"
version	string	optional	Optional version or release cycle, such as "20", "3.12" or "22.04.3". Leave out to list the supported cycles

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "product": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 60,
      "description": "Product name as people write it, such as \"nodejs\", \"python\", \"ubuntu\" or \"postgresql\""
    },
    "version": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 30,
      "description": "Optional version or release cycle, such as \"20\", \"3.12\" or \"22.04.3\". Leave out to list the supported cycles"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "product"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

check_runtime_eol

Use this when the user asks whether a runtime version or a project's runtimes are still supported, such as "is Node 18 past end of life?" or "is the Node version in our Dockerfile still supported?". Pass runtimes by name and version, such as [{"runtime": "node", "version": "18"}], or the repository's pin files with their contents: package.json, .nvmrc, .node-version, .python-version, pyproject.toml, Pipfile, runtime.txt, go.mod, .go-version, Dockerfile, compose.yaml, .tool-versions, mise.toml, .ruby-version, Gemfile, composer.json or global.json. Returns one row per pin, past end of life first: the endoflife.date release cycle, end-of-life date, whether it passed, days left, latest patch and next supported cycle. A range such as >=18 is checked at its oldest version; an image tag such as python:3.11-slim at its version, plus its Debian or Alpine base. A pin it cannot match comes back as unmatched with the reason. Data comes from endoflife.date, maintained by volunteers. Not for package vulnerabilities.

Parameters2

runtimes	array	optional	Runtimes to check by name and version, when no repository files are open, such as [{"runtime": "node", "version": "18"}, {"runtime": "python", "version": "3.8"}]
files	array	optional	The repository files that pin runtime versions, each with its name and full contents: package.json, .nvmrc, .node-version, .python-version, pyproject.toml, Pipfile, runtime.txt, go.mod, .go-version, Dockerfile, compose.yaml, .tool-versions, mise.toml, .ruby-version, Gemfile, composer.json or global.json

  },
  "description": "Pass runtimes, files, or both; at least one entry in all",
  "additionalProperties": false
}

check_license

Use this when the user asks about an open-source license, such as "is the MIT license OSI approved?" or "what is the SPDX id of Apache License 2.0?". Pass an SPDX identifier or the license name. Returns the SPDX id, full name, whether it is OSI approved, whether the FSF lists it as free, whether the id is deprecated, and the SPDX page. If the name matches several licenses it returns candidates to choose from. It identifies a license and does not say what the license permits or requires. It is not legal advice.

Parameters1

license

string

required

SPDX identifier such as "MIT" or "Apache-2.0", or the license name such as "Apache License 2.0"

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "license": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 2,
      "maxLength": 80,
      "description": "SPDX identifier such as \"MIT\" or \"Apache-2.0\", or the license name such as \"Apache License 2.0\""
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "license"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

check_browser_support

Use this when the user asks whether a web platform feature works in browsers, such as "can I use CSS container queries in Safari?" or "is subgrid Baseline?". Pass the feature name or its id. Returns its Baseline status (widely available, newly available or limited), the dates it reached them, and the first version that supports it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, including Android and iOS. A browser shown as null has not shipped the feature. If the name is unclear it returns candidate features.

Parameters1

feature

string

required

Web platform feature in plain words or its id, such as "container queries", "subgrid" or "view-transitions"

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "feature": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 2,
      "maxLength": 80,
      "description": "Web platform feature in plain words or its id, such as \"container queries\", \"subgrid\" or \"view-transitions\""
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "feature"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

lookup_rfc

Use this when the user asks about an RFC, such as "which RFC obsoletes RFC 2616?" or "find the RFC about WebSocket". Pass either the RFC number, or words from its title (not both). A number returns the title, status, publication date, authors, abstract, and the RFCs it obsoletes, is obsoleted by, updates and is updated by. Title words return up to five matching RFCs with their numbers: call again with a number for the details.

Parameters2

number	integer	optional	RFC number, such as 2616
query	string	optional	Words from an RFC title, such as "websocket". Use number or query, not both

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "number": {
      "type": "integer",

      "description": "Words from an RFC title, such as \"websocket\". Use number or query, not both"
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_release_notes

Get release notes. Use this when the user asks what changed between two versions of a package, or what to watch for in an upgrade, such as "what changed in express between 4.18.2 and 5.1.0?" or "are there breaking changes from requests 2.28 to 2.32?". Pass the npm or PyPI package name (or a GitHub repo) and fromVersion, the version the user has; toVersion defaults to the latest release. Returns each release after fromVersion up to toVersion, newest first, with its date, link, a short excerpt of its notes and a breaking flag, plus a GitHub compare link. Notes come from GitHub releases and, when those do not reach back far enough, from the repository's changelog file; complete is false when neither covers the whole range. Not for vulnerabilities.

Parameters5

name	string	optional	Public package name, such as "express" or "requests". Its latest release names the GitHub repository.
ecosystem	string	optional	npm (the default) or pypi; used with name
repo	string	optional	A GitHub repository instead of, or with, a package name: "owner/repo" or its github.com url
fromVersion	string	required	The version you have now, such as 4.18.2. Notes start after it.
toVersion	string	optional	The version to upgrade to; the package's latest release when left out
