Overview

What is OpenAPI MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol server that reads an OpenAPI specification file (YAML) and exposes each API operation as a tool for Claude AI to use. It automatically parses the spec, generates tools for every operation, and makes live API calls when Claude invokes them.

How to use OpenAPI MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies (npm install), optionally set OPENAPI_FILE environment variable to point to your OpenAPI YAML file (default: ./openapi.yaml), then run npm run init to integrate with Claude Desktop or npm start to run the server manually.
