� Install from Store

Via PyPI (uvx — no install needed)

bash

uvx p6xer-mcp-server

Via PyPI (pip)

Terminal

pip install p6xer-mcp-server
p6xer-mcp-server

Via Smithery

Search for p6xer-mcp-server on smithery.ai and click Install. It will generate the correct Claude Desktop config automatically.

Via GitHub MCP Registry

The server is listed in the GitHub MCP Registry. In Claude Code:

Terminal

claude mcp add p6xer -- uvx p6xer-mcp-server

Claude Desktop config (after PyPI install)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "p6xer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["p6xer-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

�📦 Installation

bash

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/osama-ata/p6xer-mcp-server.git
cd p6xer-mcp-server

# Install with uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or with pip
pip install "mcp[cli]>=1.6.0,<2.0.0" pyp6xer

🏃 Running

Development / MCP Inspector:

bash

uv run mcp dev src/p6xer_mcp_server/server.py

Stdio (Claude Desktop / Claude Code):

bash

uv run p6xer-mcp-server

🔌 Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "p6xer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["p6xer-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Config file locations:

🔌 Claude Code (CLI)

Terminal

claude mcp add p6xer -- uvx p6xer-mcp-server

💬 Example Prompts

Once connected:

Code

Parse project.xer and give me an overview of all projects

What are all the critical path activities, sorted by start date?

Run a DCMA schedule quality check on project.xer

🚢 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:

pypi
testpypi

Recommended security setup:

Require manual approval for pypi
No approval required for testpypi

3) Build locally (optional sanity check)

bash

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 example v0.1.1): publishes to PyPI

bash

git tag v0.1.1
git push origin v0.1.1
