A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to check software end-of-life (EOL)
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.

Human: Is Python 3.8 still good to use?
Claude: Let me check the status of Python 3.8.
[Uses check_version tool]
Based on the EOL data, Python 3.8:
- Security support ends: October 2024
- Current status: Security fixes only
Recommendation: Consider upgrading to Python 3.11 for new projects.
Human: Any security concerns with Node.js 16?
Claude: I'll analyze the security status of Node.js 16.
[Uses check_version tool]
[Uses check_cve tool]
Found:
- Support Status: LTS until September 2023
- Critical CVEs: 2 in last 6 months
- CVSS Score Range: 7.5-9.8
Recommendation: Update to latest 16.x patch or consider Node.js 18 LTS.
Human: Which Ubuntu version should I use?
Claude: I'll help you compare Ubuntu versions.
[Uses version-comparison prompt]
Analysis:
- 22.04 LTS: Supported until 2027, recommended for new deployments
- 20.04 LTS: Supported until 2025, stable and widely used
- 18.04 LTS: Approaching EOL, plan migration
Recommendation: Use 22.04 LTS for best long-term support.
Before you begin, ensure you have:
You can verify your Node.js installation by running:
node --version # Should show v18.0.0 or higher
git clone https://github.com/ducthinh993/mcp-server-endoflife
cd mcp-server-endoflife
npm install
npm run build
npm link
Configure Claude Desktop to recognize the EOL MCP server:
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the EOL server configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"eol": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["/path/to/eol-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}
For the changes to take effect:

# macOS
tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
