+# Publishing FileMaker MCP Server to npm
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **npm account**: Make sure you have an npm account
+2. **Login to npm**: Run `npm login` in your terminal
+3. **Unique package name**: The package name should be unique on npm
+
+## Publishing Steps
+
+### 1. Update package.json (if needed)
+```bash
+# Update the package name if needed (make sure it's unique)
+npm pkg set name="filemaker-mcp-server"
+
+# Update author information
+npm pkg set author.name="Max Petrusenko"
+npm pkg set author.email="max.petrusenko@gmail.com"
+```
+
+### 2. Build and Test
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm test
+```
+
+### 3. Publish
+```bash
+npm publish
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Publication
+```bash
+npm view filemaker-mcp-server
+```
+
+## Alternative: Publish as Scoped Package
+
+If the package name is taken, you can publish under your npm scope:
+
+```bash
+# Update package name to include your scope
+npm pkg set name="@amxpetrusenko/filemaker-mcp-server"
+
+# Publish
+npm publish --access public
+```
+
+## After Publishing
+
+Users can then install and use your package:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @maxpetrusenko/filemaker-mcp-server
+filemaker-mcp-server --help
+```
+
+## Updating the Package
+
+For future updates:
+
+1. Update version in package.json
+2. Build and test
+3. Publish: `npm publish`
+
+```bash
+npm version patch  # or minor/major
+npm publish
+```

+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the demo to see all features in action:
+
+```bash
+# Set up environment variables first
+export FILEMAKER_HOST="https://your-filemaker-server.com"
+export FILEMAKER_DATABASE="YourDatabase"
+export FILEMAKER_USERNAME="your-username"
+export FILEMAKER_PASSWORD="your-password"
+
+# Run the demo
+node examples/demo.js
+```
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+1. **FileMaker Server** with Data API enabled
