Typeship Overview

The typeship MCP server generates MCP targets from OpenAPI or GraphQL specifications, alongside a typed TypeScript SDK and CLI. Typeship resolves and diagnoses a specification, then keeps selected outputs current as the source changes. The repository documents an ESM SDK for the Typeship API, including bearer-token authentication, pagination, retries, validation, and typed errors. Reach for it when an agent workflow needs tools derived from an API schema, but verify the source specification and generated target details before deployment.
