p6xer MCP Server

Official registry Other

An MCP server for Primavera P6 XER files.

What can you do with p6xer MCP Server?

project_id – numeric P6 project ID (e.g. "1234")
project_short_name – project short name string (e.g. "PROJ1")

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

PYPI package p6xer-mcp-server

Claude Code

claude mcp add p6xer-mcp-server -e 'P6XER_API_KEY=<your p6xer_api_key>' -e 'P6XER_ENDPOINT=<P6XER_ENDPOINT>' -e 'P6XER_LOG_LEVEL=<P6XER_LOG_LEVEL>' -- uvx p6xer-mcp-server==0.1.3

JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "p6xer-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "p6xer-mcp-server==0.1.3"
            ],
            "env": {
                "P6XER_API_KEY": "<your p6xer_api_key>",
                "P6XER_ENDPOINT": "<P6XER_ENDPOINT>",
                "P6XER_LOG_LEVEL": "<P6XER_LOG_LEVEL>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

P6XER_API_KEY secret API key used to authenticate with p6xer service.
P6XER_ENDPOINT Optional p6xer endpoint URL (default uses local p6xer daemon).
P6XER_LOG_LEVEL Optional log verbosity level (e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR).

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.

🚢 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)

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

git tag v0.1.1
git push origin v0.1.1
