MCP server for Polarion ALM — read and write documents and work items

mcp-server-polarion

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Polarion ALM. Lets AI assistants read documents, work items, and traceability links directly from your Polarion instance.

Prerequisites

This server is distributed as a Python package and requires uv to run.

Install uv (if not already installed):

# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Or via pip:

pip install uv

No other installation is needed — uvx mcp-server-polarion downloads and runs the server automatically.
