## 🎉 Test PyPI Success
The package is now available on Test PyPI! You can test the installation:
```bash
# Create a test environment
python -m venv test_env
source test_env/bin/activate # On Windows: test_env\Scripts\activate
# Install from Test PyPI
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ pyodbc-mcp-server
# Verify installation
pyodbc-mcp-server --help
```
**Note**: The `--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` is needed so pip can install dependencies (fastmcp, pyodbc) from production PyPI, since Test PyPI doesn't host all dependencies.
**Test PyPI Package**: https://test.pypi.org/project/pyodbc-mcp-server/0.4.0/
---
## 🎉 Production PyPI Success
The package is now available on **production PyPI**! Users can install it with:
```bash
pip install pyodbc-mcp-server
```
**Production PyPI Package**: https://pypi.org/project/pyodbc-mcp-server/0.4.0/

## 🚀 Future Releases - Fully Automated
Now that GitHub trusted publishing is configured for both Test PyPI and Production PyPI, all future releases are **fully automated**:
1. **Automatic Publishing**: Simply push a new version tag (e.g., `v0.4.1`, `v0.5.0`) and the workflow will:
- Build the package
- Create a GitHub release with artifacts
- Publish to Test PyPI automatically
- Publish to Production PyPI automatically (after Test PyPI succeeds)
2. **No Manual Steps**: No need to run `python -m build`, `twine upload`, or manage API tokens
3. **Secure**: Uses OIDC tokens that expire after each workflow run
4. **Auditable**: Every publication is tied to a specific git tag and workflow run
The one-time trusted publishing configuration is complete and will work for all future versions.
