Does this skill support local OpenAPI files?

Yes, it can be configured to read from a local JSON/YAML file or a remote URL exported from Apidog or any other OpenAPI-compliant tool.

Is runtime validation required?

It is highly recommended for production apps. This skill provides patterns for using Zod to validate that actual API responses match the expected TypeScript types at runtime.

What is the Apidog MCP server used for?

It allows the AI agent to read your latest API documentation directly from Apidog, ensuring the code it generates matches your backend specification exactly.

How does it handle API versioning?

By pointing the MCP server to a specific versioned URL or file, the agent ensures it always builds against the intended version of your API contract.

Can I use this with libraries other than Axios?

While the default implementation patterns use Axios and TanStack Query, the skill's logic can be adapted for the Fetch API or other data-fetching libraries.

API Development

Automates the integration of OpenAPI specifications into React applications using Apidog MCP for type-safe frontend development.

About

This skill enables Claude to seamlessly synchronize your React frontend with backend API specifications via Apidog and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It streamlines the process of reading OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specs, generating TypeScript types or Zod schemas, and implementing a robust data-fetching layer using TanStack Query. By establishing a single source of truth, it ensures your API clients, query hooks, and components are always aligned with the latest backend changes, complete with built-in runtime validation and standardized error handling patterns.

Key Features

Runtime API response validation to ensure data integrity
Automated MCP server setup for Apidog and OpenAPI specifications
1 GitHub stars
Standardized TanStack Query hook implementation with Query Key factories
Pre-configured Axios client with authentication and refresh token logic
End-to-end type generation using openapi-typescript or Zod schemas

Use Cases

Connecting a new React feature to an existing REST API defined in Apidog
Synchronizing frontend types and hooks after a backend API update
Setting up a production-ready data fetching layer for a scalable web application
