You run an MCP server that gives you easy access to end-of-life and support data for software products. It connects to the endoflife.date dataset and exposes a set of useful endpoints you can query from any MCP-compatible client to learn about product lifecycles and support status.

How to use

You can use this server with any MCP client by configuring the client to connect to the local or remote MCP instance. The server provides endpoints to list products, fetch details for a specific product or release, and filter products by category or tag. Use these capabilities to build dashboards, automate lifecycle checks, or integrate end-of-life data into your internal tooling.

How to install

Prerequisites you need installed on your machine.

  • Node.js is required. Install from https://nodejs.org and ensure node and npm are available in your shell.
  • Clone or obtain the project files for the EndOfLife MCP Server.
  • Install dependencies and build the project.

Step-by-step commands.

npm install
npm run build

Configuration and usage note

To run locally, you’ll connect a client to the MCP server configuration shown here. The MCP server is exposed as a stdio-based server that runs via Node.js and points to the built distribution.

Example client configuration (MCP) using a local stdio server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "endoflife": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/endoflife-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
