P6XER MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.osama-ata/p6xer-mcp-server
A full-featured Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Primavera P6 XER files, built on PyP6XER.
Exposes 13 Tools, 3 Resources, and 2 Prompts so any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can interactively parse, query, and analyze .xer schedule files.

π’ Publishing to PyPI (GitHub Actions + Trusted Publishing)
This repository includes a release workflow at .github/workflows/publish-to-pypi.yml based on the PyPA guide and pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish.
1) Configure Trusted Publishers
Create trusted publishers for this exact workflow file:
- PyPI: https://pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/
- TestPyPI: https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/
Use these values:
- Owner:
osama-ata - Repository:
p6xer-mcp-server - Workflow file:
publish-to-pypi.yml - Environment:
pypi(for PyPI),testpypi(for TestPyPI) - Project name:
p6xer-mcp-server
2) Create GitHub Environments
In repository settings, create two environments:
pypitestpypi
Recommended security setup:
- Require manual approval for
pypi - No approval required for
testpypi
3) Build locally (optional sanity check)
python -m pip install --upgrade build twine
python -m build
python -m twine check dist/*
4) Release flow
- Push to
main: publishes to TestPyPI - Push tag
v*(for examplev0.1.1): publishes to PyPI
git tag v0.1.1
git push origin v0.1.1
