### Description (declared)

# MCP-OpenAPI

A [Model Context Protocol][mcp] server that exposes HTTP methods from an OpenAPI spec as tools.

> [!WARNING]
> This is a proof of concept, yet to be fully tested and documented.

## Usage

Each MCP-OpenAPI server exposes operations from a single OpenAPI spec. You could run multiple instances to expose multiple specs.

This package is available on PyPI @ [`mcp-openapi`][pypi]. You can start a server with `uvx mcp-openapi --openapi-url https://httpbin.org/spec.json (sse | stdio)`.

An example Claude config (while running `fastapi dev tests/todos.py` with port 8000):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "todos": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "mcp-openapi",
        "--openapi-url=http://localhost:8000/openapi.json",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

The OpenAPI url can also be passed as an environment variable, `MCP_OPENAPI_URL`.

When running as SSE, you can configure the server with:

- `--fastmcp-sse-host` - the host to serve the MCP server on
- `--fastmcp-sse-port` - the port to serve the MCP server on

There are additional global options:

- `--fastmcp-debug` - enable debug mode for the MCP server
- `--fastmcp-log-level` - the log level for the MCP server

These can also be configured via environment variables using the `FASTMCP_` prefix, e.g. `FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG`.

### How it works

1. The MCP-OpenAPI server is initialised with an OpenAPI spec URL.
2. The server fetches and parses the OpenAPI spec, and registers each path-operation as a tool.
3. A FastMCP server is started with the registered tools.
4. When a client requests a tool, the MCP server makes a HTTP request to the API and returns the response.
