FAQ from OpenAPI MCP Server

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js >= 16.17.0 and an MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor.

Does the server execute API endpoints as tools?

No. OpenAPI MCP v2 focuses on exploration and providing context; it does not allow executing endpoints directly because authentication is not yet solved.
