npm install -g @lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server
Transkribus uses session-based authentication. You can authenticate in two ways:
Option 1: Username + Password (auto-login)
export TRANSKRIBUS_USER=your-email@example.com export TRANSKRIBUS_PASSWORD=your-password
The server will automatically log in and manage the session.
export TRANSKRIBUS_SESSION_ID=your-session-id
Use this if you already have a valid session from the Transkribus platform.
Use split servers to reduce context size — pick only the splits you need.

Or use split servers (pick the splits you need):

- Never commit your credentialsto version control
- Use environment variables or a.envfile (excluded via.gitignore)
- Session IDs expire — prefer username/password for long-running setups

Releases ship via the GitHub Release event. Maintainer flow:
- Bump the version inpackage.jsonandserver.json(npm run check-versionsenforces alignment betweenpackage.json#/versionandserver.json#/packages[0].version).
- UpdateCHANGELOG.md.
- Commit, thengh release create vX.Y.Z --notes-from-tag(or write release notes inline).
- ThePublish to npm + MCP Registryworkflow runs automatically: itnpm publishes with provenance, polls the registry until the tarball is available, then pushes the matchingserver.jsonto the MCP Registry viamcp-publisher.
The workflow skipsnpm publishcleanly if the version is already on npm (cutover guard for releases that were partially published manually).
Publishing usesnpm Trusted Publishing: the workflow's GitHub OIDC token (id-token: write) is exchanged for a one-shot publish token at runtime. NoNPM_TOKENsecret needs to live in the repo.
The binding is configured in the npm web UI (package → Trusted Publishers): providerGitHub Actions, organizationlazyants, repositorytranskribus-mcp-server, workflowpublish-registry.yml.
