Swagger/OpenAPI MCP Servers
Swagger/OpenAPI MCP servers provide interfaces for LLMs to interact with API documentation, testing, and generation tools. These servers enable AI models to analyze, test, and generate API specifications using the OpenAPI standard.
Core Components
API Documentation Server
class SwaggerServer extends MCPServer {
capabilities = {
tools: {
'parseSpec': async (params) => {
// Parse OpenAPI specification
},
'validateAPI': async (params) => {
// Validate API endpoints
},
'generateDocs': async (params) => {
// Generate API documentation
}
},
resources: {
'apiSpec': async () => {
// Get current API specification
}
}
}
}
Implementation Examples
API Testing Integration
class APITester extends MCPServer {
async initialize() {
return {
tools: {
'testEndpoint': this.executeAPITest,
'generateMocks': this.createMockResponses,
'validateResponse': this.checkResponse
}
};
}
private async executeAPITest({ endpoint, method, params }) {
// Implement API testing logic
}
}
Configuration Options
swagger:
version: "3.0.0"
format: "yaml" # or json
validateSpecs: true
documentation:
output: "docs"
theme: "default"
includeSecurity: true
