# OpenAPI MCP Server
[](https://uithub.com/janwilmake/openapi-mcp-server?excludePathPatterns=*.yaml)
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Claude/Cursor that enables searching and exploring OpenAPI specifications through oapis.org.

- OAPIS: https://github.com/janwilmake/oapis
The MCP works by applying a 3 step process:
1. It figures out the openapi identifier you need
2. It requests a summary of that in simple language
3. It determines which endpoints you need, and checks out how exactly they work (again, in simple language)
Features
- Get an overview of any OpenAPI specification
- Retrieve details about specific API operations
- Support for both JSON and YAML formats
- Tested with Claude Desktop and Cursor
