How do I use APIMatic Validator MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@APIMatic Validator MCP Server validate this OpenAPI 3.0 YAML file for compliance issues" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

APIMatic Validator MCP Server

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for validating OpenAPI specifications using APIMatic. The server processes OpenAPI files and returns validation summaries by leveraging APIMatic’s API.

Features

Validates OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 files
Uses APIMatic’s API for comprehensive validation
Supports both JSON and YAML formats
Implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless integration

Installation

Ensure that Node.js v18+ is installed.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/apimatic/apimatic-validator-mcp.git cd apimatic-validator-mcp

Install Dependencies

npm install

Build the Project

npm run build

Configuration

To use the server, an APIMatic API key is required. Sign up at APIMatic and obtain the API key.

Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify the claude_desktop_config.json file to integrate the MCP server. If the file does not exist, create one in the following location:

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS/Linux

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP Server to the Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "APIMatic": { "command": "node", "args": [ "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js" ], "env": { "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "<Add your APIMatic token here>" } } } }

Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop. Open it to verify that the validate-openapi-using-apimatic tool is successfully integrated.
