What is the Ratatosk MCP Server?

CNCF release intelligence: typed facts from release notes; check_stack compares versions locally.

What you get

In Norse myth, Ratatoskr is the squirrel that carries messages up and down the world tree. This one carries release intelligence. ratatosk.io watches 76 CNCF projects and turns every release note into typed, entity-level facts: security fixes, breaking changes, removals, deprecations, changed defaults. Plain bug fixes and marketing copy are filtered out. What remains is what an operator acts on.

ToolWhat it does
check_stackTakes the component versions you run and returns the facts on your upgrade path — critical/high split from the rest, one entry per advisory, each with its quote and ids. The comparison happens inside the server process —
list_factsThe incremental fact feed, oldest-analyzed first. Filter by project, type, or severity; page with the since cursor to keep a local copy in sync
facts_by_entityReverse lookup: every fact touching one exact identifier — such as a CVE id, CRD, feature gate, flag, config field, or dependency
get_releaseOne release in full: its facts, an overall assessment, and the link to the original note. A fully reviewed release with zero facts means it was read and found routine
list_releasesThe newest releases of one project as one-line summaries (date, fact counts by severity), newest first — the tool for "what changed in X lately"
list_projectsThe roster of tracked projects and their canonical slugs (the short project id every other tool takes) — look names up here instead of guessing
