What is the Endoflife MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Endoflife, the endoflife mcp server is the bridge. A Model Context Protocol server that checks software end-of-life status using endoflife.date API.

What Endoflife does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to check software end-of-life (EOL) dates and support status using the endoflife.date API. This helps AI models provide accurate information about software lifecycle and security status in real-time.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a system that lets AI apps, like Claude Desktop, connect to external tools and data sources. It provides a standardized way for AI assistants to work with local services and APIs while keeping the user in control.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:

  • Tools — 1. check_version - Get EOL dates and support status - Check latest patch versions - Verify LTS status - Validate support timeline
  • Prompts — 1. check_software_status - Validate version support - Check EOL dates - Get security status

Installing the endoflife mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have: - Node.js (v18 or higher) - Claude Desktop installed - Git installed You can verify your Node.js installation by running:

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Endoflife sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Tools, Prompts — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by ducthinh993, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the endoflife mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Endoflife to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (Tools, Prompts) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Endoflife directly.
