Overview
What is OpenAPI MCP Server?
OpenAPI MCP Server is a skeleton project for building your own Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It includes an example addition function and demonstrates how to implement handlers across all three supported protocols: Standard I/O (stdio), Server-Sent Events (SSE), and OpenAPI/REST endpoints.
How to use OpenAPI MCP Server?
Run the server using Docker or Docker Compose. Set the MODE environment variable to stdio, sse, or openapi to select the transport mode. Launch a specific service (e.g., docker compose up sse-mcp-server) or run directly with Docker (e.g., docker run -i --rm -e MODE=stdio 3loc/openapi-mcp-server). Configure the server using an mcp.json file.
