# prompt-to-mcp

> Describe the MCP server you want, point at an OpenAPI spec, and get a small curated FastMCP server (a few workflow-level tools, not hundreds of endpoint clones) plus a built-in eval harness that measures it.

Describe the MCP server you want. Point at an OpenAPI spec. Get a small, curated
FastMCP server as editable code.

```bash
pip install prompt-to-mcp        # or run it without installing: uvx prompt-to-mcp
```

Big APIs make bad MCP servers when converted one tool per endpoint: Stripe's spec
becomes 587 tools and ~463,000 tokens of definitions, more than 14 times a 32k context
window. prompt-to-mcp compiles the server you describe instead, with just the tools
that serve your use case, and ships an eval harness that measures the result.

## Quick start

You need Python 3.12+ and one LLM. A local Ollama model works; so does any key that
speaks the Anthropic or OpenAI protocol. Nothing to clone.

```bash
# grab a small example spec
curl -o petstore.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KnaniOussama/prompt-to-mcp/master/tests/fixtures/petstore.yaml

# 1. see what a naive 1:1 conversion would cost (free, no LLM involved)
uvx prompt-to-mcp inspect petstore.yaml

# 2. describe the server you want (the one step that calls an LLM)
uvx prompt-to-mcp plan petstore.yaml "a server for looking up pets and thei…
