### Description (declared)

# api-to-mcp

Turn an API's documentation into a working MCP server. Give it a docs URL, an OpenAPI/Swagger file, a Postman
collection, RAML, WSDL, a GraphQL endpoint, an HTML reference page or pasted text; the model reads it and writes an
**evidence-only entry** (every tool cites the documented endpoint), and api-to-mcp runs the deterministic steps: lint,
run config, contract tests, a stdio smoke test in Python and TypeScript, and a live verification against the real API.

The result is not generated code. It is one JSON entry describing the API, which the runtime serves as an MCP server:
`api-to-mcp serve <category> <id>` (or `platform-mcp-hub serve --entry my_entry.json`). By default the entry is
**generic**: its tools are the API's own operations (from an OpenAPI/Swagger description, `draft_entry` writes them),
and the answer is passed through, with optional field selection. Any HTTP API qualifies.

## Three ways to use it

- **Claude Code plugin** (skill `/api-to-mcp`, the `api-to-mcp` agent and the MCP server together):
  ```bash
  claude plugin marketplace add tonyyang0504/api-to-mcp
  claude plugin install api-to-mcp@api-to-mcp
  ```
  Then: `/api-to-mcp https://developer.example.com/openapi.json`, or ask the `api-to-mcp` agent. Needs `uv` on PATH.
- **Any MCP client**: `api-to-mcp mcp` (stdio) or `api-to-mcp mcp --http --port 8090`. Tools: `doctor`, `workspace`,
  `catalog_search`, `catalog_get`, `template_entry`, `ingest_openapi`, `read_docs`, `draft_entry`, `save_entry`, `lint_entry`,
  `generate_server`, `try_tool`, `test_server`, `live_verify` ([docs/TOOLS.md](docs/TOOLS.md)).
- **CLI**: every tool is a command: `api-to-mcp ingest <url>`, `api-to-mcp save jobs my_board entry.json`,
  `api-to-mcp test jobs my_board`, `api-to-mcp serve jobs my_board`, ... (`api-to-mcp --help`).

## Install

```bash
uvx --from api-to-mcp-forge api-to-mcp doctor      # or: pip install api-to-mcp-forge / uv tool install api-to-mcp-forge
```
