OpenAPI FAQs

Question 1

What deployment and usage options are available for the server?

Accepted Answer

The OpenAPI MCP Server can be deployed and used in various ways: as a CLI tool for quick setup, via Docker for production environments, or as a Node.js library for custom integrations. It supports both Stdio transport for direct integration with tools like Claude Desktop and HTTP transport for web applications.

Question 2

What kind of APIs can I integrate using this server?

Accepted Answer

You can integrate any API that provides a valid OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specification. The server reads this specification and automatically generates corresponding MCP tools for each defined operation, supporting both OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.x formats.

Question 3

What is the OpenAPI MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The OpenAPI MCP Server is a generic tool that dynamically converts any OpenAPI-defined REST API into Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. This enables Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Claude, to discover and interact with these APIs through a standardized, machine-readable format.

Question 4

How does this tool benefit Large Language Models (LLMs)?

Accepted Answer

It empowers LLMs to interact with external services and real-world data by providing a bridge to REST APIs. LLMs can dynamically access functionalities, retrieve information, and automate tasks by invoking operations exposed as MCP tools, expanding their capabilities beyond their core knowledge.

Question 5

How does the OpenAPI MCP Server handle API authentication?

Accepted Answer

The server offers robust and flexible authentication methods. It supports static headers, dynamic authentication providers (e.g., fetching tokens), and token refresh mechanisms, ensuring secure access to your underlying APIs.
