Continuous Integration

All tests run automatically on every pull request via GitHub Actions. See .github/workflows/test.yml for the complete CI configuration.

For complete CI/CD documentation, including release process and workflows, see CI_CD.md.

CI/CD

This repository includes comprehensive CI/CD workflows:

• Tests (.github/workflows/test.yml): Runs Python and Playwright tests on all PRs and pushes to main
• Release (.github/workflows/release.yml): Automatically publishes to PyPI when a new version tag is pushed
• Dependabot (.github/dependabot.yml): Automatically updates dependencies weekly

Creating a Release

1. Update version in cloud_diagram_mcp/__init__.py
2. Update CHANGELOG.md with the new version and changes
3. Commit the changes
4. Create and push a version tag:

   git tag v2.1.0
   git push origin v2.1.0
