Security

• Never commit your API token to version control
• Use read-only access when you only need to list/get resources
• Create, update, and delete tools modify real business data — invoices, contacts, and accounting records in your Lexware account
• Rate limiting is handled automatically (exponential backoff on 429)

Releasing

Releases ship via the GitHub Release event. Maintainer flow:

1. Bump the version in package.json and server.json (npm run check-versions enforces alignment between package.json#/version and server.json#/packages[0].version).
2. Update CHANGELOG.md.
3. Commit, then gh release create vX.Y.Z --notes-from-tag (or write release notes inline).
4. The Publish to npm + MCP Registry workflow runs automatically: it npm publishes with provenance, polls the registry until the tarball is available, then pushes the matching server.json to the MCP Registry via mcp-publisher.

The workflow skips npm publish cleanly if the version is already on npm (cutover guard for releases that were partially published manually).

Required repository secret

NPM_TOKEN must be a granular access token issued from the npm org dashboard (https://www.npmjs.com/settings/lazyants/tokens) with read-and-write permission on @lazyants/lexware-mcp-server. Classic legacy automation tokens silently fail with --provenance since npm's 2024 enforcement.
