getreadystack/maven-central-publish-gate repository overview

⁠Maven Central Publish Gate

Read a pom.xml the way the Central Portal reads it, before you burn a release tag

⁠Run

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/maven-central-publish-gate /work/file

The same 16 rules as the VS Code extension, in a container. Mount a folder on /work.

⁠Free

• Open any pom.xml in VS Code or paste it into the free web page and get every Central Portal blocker on that file, each one on its own line with the fix
• --rules lists every rule

⁠With a licence ($29 once)

• Gate every pom.xml in a multi-module repository in one command and keep the result as a REPORT.md you own and can attach to the release

docker run --rm -e READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/maven-central-publish-gate --dir /work --ci

A freelance Java release engineer bills about $80 an hour, and a rejected bundle costs a full release round-trip: retag, rebuild, re-sign, re-upload.

⁠Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · any MCP client - add to your MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "maven-central-publish-gate": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@readystack/maven-central-publish-gate", "--mcp"] } } }

Tools: check_text and check_file (free) · check_dir (licence). The agent gets every finding with the line number.

⁠Use in CI

- name: Maven Central Publish Gate
  run: npx -y @readystack/maven-central-publish-gate --dir . --ci

(container: docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" getreadystack/maven-central-publish-gate --dir /work --ci)

The folder sweep, reports and CI mode need one licence — one payment, no subscription. Set READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> or run --license <key> once.
