Usage
import { Server } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js';
import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';
import {
CallToolRequestSchema,
ListToolsRequestSchema,
} from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
import { Converter } from 'openapi2mcptools';
const converter = new Converter({
baseURL, // optional
httpClient // optional
});
await converter.load({
// specs
});
const tools = converter.getToolsList();
const toolCaller = converter.getToolsCaller();
const server = new Server(
{
name: 'mcp-server-openapi',
version: '1.0.0',
},
{
capabilities: {
tools: {},
},
},
);
// Define available tools
server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
return {
tools,
};
});
// Handle tool execution
server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
return await toolCaller(request);
});
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
Custom client
Set baseURL, headers, etc for http client.
export type RequestConfig = {
url?: string;
method?: string;
headers?: any;
params?: any;
data?: any;
}
export interface HTTPClient {
request: (requestConfig: RequestConfig) => Promise<{ data: any }>;
}
Example:
import axios from axios;
import { Converter } from 'openapi2mcptools';
const converter = new Converter({
httpClient: axios
});
