Run the server from source

Try an unreleased change, or point a client at a local build. You need Node.js 22 or later, pnpm and a clone of the repository.

Build and run

From the repository root:

pnpm install
pnpm turbo run build --filter=@sezzlee/xml-mcp
node packages/servers/xml-mcp/dist/cli.js /absolute/path/to/documents

Build through Turbo, not pnpm --filter @sezzlee/xml-mcp build. The server depends on @sezzlee/file-core through its built dist/, and only Turbo builds it first. The build also has to emit the parse worker as dist/xml-worker.js; a server started without it cannot parse anything.

In a client configuration, use "command": "node" and "args": ["/absolute/path/to/sezzlee/packages/servers/xml-mcp/dist/cli.js", "/absolute/path/to/documents"].

Call it by hand

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node packages/servers/xml-mcp/dist/cli.js /absolute/path/to/documents

This opens the Inspector's web interface with the server connected, where you can call every tool.

Test it

pnpm turbo run test --filter=@sezzlee/xml-mcp
pnpm turbo run check-types lint --filter=@sezzlee/xml-mcp

Tests on large documents are skipped by default; set SEZZLEE_XML_LARGE=1 to run them.
