p6xer MCP Server

A full-featured Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Primavera P6 XER files, built on PyP6XER. Its 13 documented tools cover resource, schedule. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting filesystem tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install p6xer MCP Server

Claude Code

claude mcp add osama-ata-p6xer-mcp-server -- uvx p6xer-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

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

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package p6xer-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.osama-ata is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What p6xer MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can parse an XER file - project list, totals, status breakdowns, and list resources, optionally filtered by type.
