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

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyProductivity & WorkflowDeveloper Tools

Overview

AI-generated overview

MCP server for Polarion ALM that lets an assistant read, search, create and update documents, work items, test runs, links, comments and attachments.

What you can do
  • List projects, documents, work items and test runs, and run Lucene or SQL queries with pagination
  • Read documents and work items as Markdown or raw HTML, inspect document structure, links, comments and enum options
  • Create and update work items, documents and test runs, including workflow status and document copying
  • Manage traceability links, attach or detach work items from documents, and reorganize document structure
  • Post and resolve comments, and upload or view attachments on documents, work items and test records
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should work inside a Polarion ALM instance: summarizing requirements, tracing links between requirements and tests, recording test results, or drafting and reorganizing documents and work items.
Requirements
A local Python runtime with uv (run via uvx) and a reachable Polarion 2506 or newer instance. Requires the POLARION_URL and POLARION_TOKEN environment variables; POLARION_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_SECOND is optional and defaults to 1.
Before you install
The server writes to production ALM data: it creates and updates work items, documents and test runs, deletes links, and uploads local files as attachments. Every write supports dry_run, but that must be requested. It needs a Polarion personal access token in POLARION_TOKEN, which grants the token owner's permissions; keep it out of shared config files.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Server Polarion in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

[CI] [Publish] [PyPI] [Python 3.13+] [License: MIT]

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Polarion ALM, built for real-world instances: every write supports dry_run, guards validate fields and enum values before anything is committed, and requests are paced to a rate cap you configure for your instance — so an AI assistant can work on production data without surprises.

[mcp-server-polarion demo]

Features

  • 46 tools covering read and write across documents, work items, test runs, traceability links, comments, and attachments.
  • Read — render documents as Markdown, search with Lucene or SQL, walk incoming/outgoing links, resolve enum options.
  • Write — create and update work items, documents, and test runs, manage links, reorganize document structure, post comments.
  • Safe writes — every write tool supports dry_run, and pre-write guards validate fields, enum values, and link targets before hitting Polarion.
  • Plays nice with your server — requests are serialized and paced to a configurable rate cap, with automatic retries on 429/5xx responses.
  • Built for LLMs — strict async, fully typed, pagination on every list tool, docstrings written as the assistant's manual.

Quickstart

Requires Polarion 2506+ and uv — see Prerequisites. Fastest path — Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add mcp-server-polarion \  -e POLARION_URL=https://polarion.example.com \  -e POLARION_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token \  -- uvx mcp-server-polarion

Other clients (VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor) — see Client Configuration.

Example Prompts

Discovery & search

"List the projects I can access, then show the documents in project MCPT with their types."

"List the documents in space 'Specifications' of project MCPT."

"Find every approved requirement in project MCPT whose title starts with 'Auth' and show me their owning document."

"Search project MCPT for work items where the custom field 'verification_method' is 'Test' — grab the SQL recipes first if you need a join."

"Find all work items in the SRS module of project MCPT that were changed in the last sprint."

Reading & summarizing

"Read the SRS document of project MCPT and summarize each open requirement."

"Show me the structural outline of the SRS document — headings and the work items under each."

"Read work item MCPT-042 as Markdown and explain what it asks for."

"Show the outgoing and incoming links for MCPT-042 and flag any child task that is still open."

"Which requirements in the SRS document have no 'verifies' back link from a test case?"

"List the open comment threads on the SRS document and who started each."

Creating & editing

"Create a task in project MCPT titled 'Refactor authentication module' and link it to MCPT-042 as 'relates_to'."

"Create three test-case work items in project MCPT from this checklist and link each one to MCPT-042 as 'verifies'."

"Update the description of MCPT-042 with the revised text I'll paste, keeping the existing formatting."

"Add a comment on the SRS document asking the owner to clarify section 4, then reply to thread T-12 marking it resolved."

"Create a test run REG-SPRINT-7 in project MCPT from the 'Regression' template with status 'open'."

Workflow & reorganization

"List the valid status values for a defect in project MCPT, then move MCPT-077 to 'in_review'."

"Bump MCPT-042's priority to 90, set severity to 'major', and approve the workflow."

"Change MCPT-201 from a task to a requirement and re-apply its previous status."

"Move MCPT-201 into the SRS document right after MCPT-150."

"Detach MCPT-077 from its document so I can rework it as a standalone task."

"Mark the 'blocks' link from MCPT-042 to MCPT-099 as suspect, then delete the stale 'relates_to' link to MCPT-010."

Setup

Prerequisites

Polarion 2506 or higher is required. Earlier versions lack REST API endpoints this server depends on.

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

Install uv (if not already installed):

bash
# macOS / Linuxcurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Windowspowershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Or via pip:

bash
pip install uv

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

Environment Variables

VariableDescriptionExample
POLARION_URLBase URL of your Polarion instancehttps://polarion.example.com
POLARION_TOKENPersonal Access Token for authenticationyour-personal-access-token
POLARION_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_SECONDOptional. Client-side request rate cap — raise it to match your deployment's throttle, or set 0 to disable pacing. Writes keep a fixed extra pause regardless (default: 1)1

To generate a Personal Access Token, open Polarion, click your user name, and go to My Account → Personal Access Tokens.
