# APIMatic Validator MCP Server
This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for validating OpenAPI specifications using [APIMatic](https://www.apimatic.io/). 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
```sh
git clone https://github.com/apimatic/apimatic-validator-mcp.git
cd apimatic-validator-mcp
```
### Install Dependencies
```sh
npm install
```
### Build the Project
```sh
npm run build
```
## Configuration
To use the server, an APIMatic API key is required. Sign up at [APIMatic](https://www.apimatic.io/) 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
```sh
code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
```
#### macOS/Linux
```sh
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```
### Add the MCP Server to the Configuration
```json
{
"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.
## Usage
1. Add an OpenAPI file.
2. Provide a prompt to validate it.
3. The validation results will be returned.
