gh-release-mcp

An MCP server that lets an agent list and download GitHub release assets — with multi-mirror parallel ranged download and sha256 verification. Zero external binaries (pure Python standard library: no aria2, curl, gh, jq). By embedai.com.cn.

Built for restricted networks: it probes which mirrors support HTTP Range (206), splits a file across mirrors and downloads segments in parallel, then verifies sha256 from GitHub's own asset digest.

Tool

What it does

list_release_assets

List a release's assets (name, size, url).

download_release_asset

Download one asset (by name) or several (by glob pattern) with parallel ranged requests across mirrors; verifies sha256 when available.

Tools in detail

download_release_asset arguments:

arg

meaning

owner, repo

e.g. NationalSecurityAgency, ghidra

tag

release tag; omit or latest

name

exact asset name (optional)

pattern

glob, e.g. *PUBLIC*.zip (optional)

dest

destination directory (default: cwd)

mirrors

mirror prefixes (must support Range); default ghproxy.net + ghfast.top

connections

segments per file (default 8)

Env vars: GITHUB_TOKEN (optional, raises API limits / private repos).
