Clarion Builder MCP Server enables automated Clarion IDE tasks, project generation, compilation, and build management by interfacing with ClarionCL and MSBuild. It streamlines versioned builds and template management so you can automate Clarion workflows from your MCP client.

How to use

You connect to this server from your MCP client to perform common Clarion tasks such as generating projects, importing/exporting TXA and dictionaries, registering templates, and building solutions. Use the ClarionCL operations to drive IDE tasks and the solution building flow to compile .sln projects with MSBuild. Each action requires specific inputs, including file paths, versions, and redirection settings for Windows environments.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your machine. You also should have a local development environment capable of building Clarion projects if you plan to test build flows.

Install and run the MCP server locally

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/clarion-builder-mcp-server.git
cd clarion-builder-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

To integrate with your MCP client, add the server configuration to your MCP settings so it can be started by the MCP runner. The server runs as a local stdio process via Node.js and the compiled entry point is placed under dist/index.js after the build.

## Configure your MCP client to use the server

{ "mcpServers": { "clarion_builder": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/clarion-builder-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": {} } } }
