Hello,
is there a way to create a mpp file from a project using PSI.
I have to create some kind of versioning that creates a mpp on every publish.

Thank you very mutch for your help.

Yes it is possible.
Look at the documentation for the PSI

I think you want to use the QueueCreateProject method, but you may want to
create one from a template or otherwise.

But this will create one in the database. I need a method to create a mpp
file from a project that is in the database.

Try: FileSaveAs Name:="C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Project1.mpp",
FormatID:="MSProject.MPP" triggered off the "beforepublish" event.
