openapi2mcptools · Summary

Converts OpenAPI specifications to MCP tools for faster MCP server development.

filesystem · Summary

A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.

openapi2mcptools · Use cases

  • Rapidly create MCP servers from existing REST API documentation
  • Enable AI models to interact with web APIs through the MCP protocol
  • Convert complex API specifications into tool formats accessible to AI assistants

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

openapi2mcptools · Install

npm install openapi2mcptools

For Claude Desktop integration, add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openapi2mcptools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/your/script.js"]
    }
  }
}

Where your script.js uses the example code from the README to create an MCP server from your OpenAPI specs.
