emcee

Overview

emcee is a Go-based MCP server generator that transforms OpenAPI specifications into functional MCP servers. It provides a standardized way to connect AI models to any web service that exposes an OpenAPI spec, eliminating the need to build custom MCP implementations for each API. The tool supports various authentication methods and allows for transformation of specifications before exposing them as tools through MCP.
