Mcpify Overview

The mcpify MCP server converts OpenAPI 3.x specifications into MCP tools that agents can use to call REST APIs. It generates input schemas from parameters and request bodies, resolves internal references, and supports local stdio or shared Streamable HTTP transport. Use it when an API has an OpenAPI description and needs to be exposed to an MCP-compatible client. Optional controls cover authentication, read-only access, redaction, response projection, caching, retries, rate limits, auditing, and metrics.

Primary Use Cases for Mcpify:
  • Expose an OpenAPI-described internal API to an MCP client
  • Preview generated tools and their context cost before deployment
  • Validate API specifications for agent-facing problems in CI
  • Restrict agents to read-only or explicitly allowed operations
