What is the OpenAPI to MCP Generator?
This is a command-line tool that automatically converts standard OpenAPI specifications into servers compliant with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI agents and other MCP clients to interact with your existing REST APIs through multiple transport methods.How to use the OpenAPI to MCP Generator?
Simply provide your OpenAPI specification file, and the tool will automatically generate a complete MCP server project, including all necessary configurations and code. You can choose different communication transport methods and start the server with simple commands.Use cases
Suitable for scenarios where an AI system needs to access existing APIs, especially when you want to support the MCP protocol while keeping your existing APIs unchanged. Typical use cases include AI assistant integration, automated workflows, and cross-system communication.Main features
OpenAPI 3.0+ supportFully supports the conversion of specifications in OpenAPI 3.0 and above versions.
API proxy functionAutomatically proxies MCP requests to the original REST API while validating the request structure and security.
Multi-transport modeSupports three communication methods: stdio, Web (SSE), and StreamableHTTP.
Authentication supportSupports multiple authentication methods such as API keys, Bearer tokens, Basic authentication, and OAuth2.
Automatic validationAutomated request validation based on Zod to ensure that the input data conforms to the API specification.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages
Supports the MCP protocol without modifying existing APIs.
Automatically generates a complete project, reducing manual configuration.
Multiple communication methods are available to suit different scenarios.
Comes with a built-in test client for easy debugging and verification.
Limitations
Only supports OpenAPI 3.0 and above versions.
The Web transport method requires an additional port.
Manual configuration may be required for complex authentication scenarios.
How to use
Install the tool
Install the generator tool globally via npm.
Generate the MCP server
Run the generation command, specifying the input file and output directory.
