publish

Publish MCP Server is a Python-based MCP server that provides expert guidance for publishing your MCP server. It offers structured advice and best practices to help you prepare, document, and publish your MCP server to the MCP registry, and it can integrate with automated CI/CD workflows via GitHub Actions. You can interact with the server through its command-line interface to generate publishing guidance, check configuration recommendations, and receive step-by-step instructions tailored to MCP publishing scenarios. To get started, install the package and run the provided CLI or module entry point to begin a guided publishing workflow. The tool emphasizes best practices for packaging, documentation, versioning, and publishing to ensure a smooth rollout of your MCP server.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python's package installer)

Install the MCP server package from PyPI:

pip install publish-mcp-server

Run the server using the CLI:

publish-mcp-server

Or run as a module (equivalent):

python -m publish_mcp_server

Optional: Create a virtual environment to isolate dependencies:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # on Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install publish-mcp-server

Notes and tips:

• The server focuses on providing publishing guidance for MCP servers, including recommendations for CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions) and best practices for registry publication.
• If you encounter module import issues, ensure you installed the correct package name (publish-mcp-server) and that your Python path includes the site-packages directory where it was installed.
• While using the CLI, you may be prompted to provide project-specific details (e.g., server name, version, and repository references) to tailor the publishing guidance.
• This MCP server is designed to work well in automation; consider integrating its guidance steps into your CI pipelines to enforce publishing standards consistently.
