mcp -openapi

The mcp-openapi server is designed to facilitate the conversion of OpenAPI specifications into Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, enabling seamless integration of API documentation and modeling. By leveraging this server, developers can streamline their workflow, enhance collaboration, and maintain consistency across their API environments. With its ability to transform OpenAPI definitions into usable MCP tools, you can significantly improve your development processes.

Once connected to the mcp-openapi server, you can interact with it by sending OpenAPI specifications for conversion. The server processes these specifications and provides you with corresponding MCP tools, allowing you to efficiently manage and utilize your APIs. While there are currently no specific tools documented, you can experiment with different OpenAPI definitions to explore the conversion capabilities and ensure they align with your project requirements.

To install the mcp-openapi server, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine, as it is required to run this server.

Option A: Quick Start with npx

You can quickly start using the server without a global installation by running:

npx -y github:2013xile/mcp-server-openapi

Option B: Global Install Alternative

If you prefer to install the server globally, you can clone the repository and run it locally:

git clone https://github.com/2013xile/mcp-server-openapi
cd mcp-server-openapi
npm install
npm start

When configuring the mcp-openapi server, ensure your OpenAPI specifications are valid and well-structured to avoid conversion errors. It may also be helpful to set environment variables for customization based on your specific use case, such as defining the port number for the server. Keep in mind that as the tool is still in development, you might encounter some limitations or bugs, so check the GitHub repository for updates and community discussions.
