Target Reference Server
Openapi MCP Overview
@kaisers-io/openapi-mcp turns an OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 description from a URL or local file into a local MCP server. It exposes permitted API operations as agent-callable tools, validates request arguments against the operation schema, and can validate responses when a schema is available. Read operations are enabled by default, while method, path, tag, operation ID, and tool-name filters control broader access. Reach for it when an agent needs structured access to an existing HTTP API without generating or deploying adapter code.
Primary Use Cases for Openapi MCP:
- Connect an agent to an existing OpenAPI-described HTTP API
- Restrict an agent to selected API operations
- Preview exposed tools before starting a server
- Validate API requests and responses against schemas
