Publishing Steps (Overview)

  1. Authenticate with publisher (GitHub namespace):
    powershell
    mcp-publisher login github
    
  2. Create and push repo to GitHub (see steps below).
  3. (Optional) Publish to PyPI if distributing as a package.
  4. Publish to MCP registry:
    powershell
    mcp-publisher publish
    
  5. Verify:
    Terminal
    curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=io.github.vtiwari/weather-mcp"
    

Create & Push GitHub Repository

If this directory is not yet a git repo:

powershell
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: Weather MCP server"

Create repo (GitHub CLI) and push:

powershell
gh repo create vtiwari/weather-mcp --public --source . --remote origin --push

If not using GitHub CLI, create the repo manually via the GitHub web UI, then:

powershell
git remote add origin https://github.com/vtiwari/weather-mcp.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Tag version for release consistency:

powershell
git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0

PyPI Packaging (Optional)

To distribute via PyPI, ensure pyproject.toml includes build backend and metadata (authors, license). Then:

Terminal
pip install build twine
python -m build
twine upload dist/*
