How to Set Up and Use Polarion MCP Server
The Polarion MCP Server bridges AI assistants with Siemens Polarion ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), giving teams natural language access to work items, documents, project spaces, and revision history stored in Polarion. It can retrieve work item details with custom fields and linked items, search documents by title or space, and trace requirement revisions — enabling engineering and quality teams to query their ALM data without leaving their AI assistant. The server runs as a Docker container or native executable and supports multiple Polarion project configurations simultaneously.
Prerequisites
- A running Siemens Polarion ALM instance with network access from the MCP server host
- Polarion credentials (username, password) with read access to the target projects
- Docker installed (recommended deployment method) or .NET runtime for the native executable
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code; clients that support SSE transport work best without a proxy
Pull the Docker image
Pull the official Polarion MCP server Docker image from Docker Hub.
docker pull peakflames/polarion-remote-mcp-serverCreate the appsettings.json configuration file
Create an appsettings.json file with your Polarion server URL, credentials, and project configuration. Each project gets a ProjectUrlAlias used in the connection URL.
{
"PolarionProjects": [
{
"ProjectUrlAlias": "myproject",
"Default": true,
"SessionConfig": {
"ServerUrl": "http://your-polarion-server/polarion",
"Username": "your-username",
"Password": "your-password",
"ProjectId": "MyProjectId",
"TimeoutSeconds": 30
}
}
]
}Start the Docker container
Run the container, mounting your appsettings.json and exposing port 8080. The POLARION_PASSWORD environment variable can override the password in the config file.
mkdir -p /opt/polarion-mcp-server
docker run -d \
--name polarion-mcp-server \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $(pwd)/appsettings.json:/app/appsettings.json \
-e POLARION_PASSWORD=your-secure-password \
peakflames/polarion-remote-mcp-serverConfigure your MCP client
For Claude Desktop (which requires stdio transport), use mcp-remote as a proxy to connect to the SSE endpoint. Replace 'myproject' with your ProjectUrlAlias.
{
"mcpServers": {
"polarion": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8080/myproject/sse"]
}
}
}Verify the connection
Restart Claude Desktop and ask it to list available work item types in your Polarion project to confirm the server is connected.
Polarion MCP Server Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config using mcp-remote to proxy the SSE transport from the Polarion MCP Docker container.
{
"mcpServers": {
"polarion": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8080/myproject/sse"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
ALM queries you can run through Claude once the Polarion server is connected.
- "List all work item types available in the Polarion project"
- "Get the details for work items REQ-001, REQ-002, and REQ-003 including their status and assignees"
- "Show me the revision history for work item TEST-42"
- "List all documents in the Requirements space"
- "Find all work items in the 'System Requirements' document that contain the word 'safety'"
- "What custom fields are available for the Requirement work item type?"Troubleshooting Polarion MCP Server
Container cannot reach the Polarion server
Verify the ServerUrl in appsettings.json is reachable from within the Docker container. Use the host machine's IP or hostname rather than 'localhost' (e.g., http://192.168.1.100/polarion). Add --network host to the docker run command if the Polarion server is on the same machine.
Authentication failures with correct credentials
Polarion uses session-based auth via its SOAP/REST API. Ensure the Username and Password match a Polarion account (not an LDAP alias if SSO is configured separately). You can override the password securely using the POLARION_PASSWORD environment variable in the Docker run command instead of hardcoding it in appsettings.json.
Claude Desktop cannot connect via mcp-remote
Ensure the mcp-remote package is available: run 'npx mcp-remote --version' to verify. Confirm the Docker container is running on port 8080 with 'docker ps'. The SSE URL format must match your ProjectUrlAlias exactly: http://localhost:8080/{ProjectUrlAlias}/sse.
