MCP API Client (Beta)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that call APIs using YAML config files.

This server allows you connect to APIs using simple a config YAML file! 🤩

Ideal for: #lazy-programmers #nocode #lowcode #ai-integrators #automation #api-gateway #data-pipelines #rapid-prototyping #llm-integration #makers

If you don't have advance APIs call skills using a programming language or you just want a fast way to connect your AI model with an API using MCP, you will LOVE 💖 this MCP.

Features

  • Configure multiple API endpoints using YAML

  • Automatic MCP tool creation from YAML config file.

  • Automatic MCP fetch API creation from YAML config file.

  • Supports all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE) [✨PARTIAL✨]

    • [✅] GET API without parameters

    • [✅] GET API with query parameters

    • [✅] GET API with path parameters

    • [✅] POST API

    • [✅] PATCH API with path parameters

    • [✅] DELETE API with path parameters

  • Set API Headers [✨WORKING✨]

  • Set API Token [✨ 🫣🔴COMMING SOON✨]

  • Environment variable interpolation for sensitive data [✨ 🫣🔴COMMING SOON✨]

  • Automatic PATH parameter detection from URL (like /users/{id})[✨WORKING✨]

  • Automatic QUERY parameter detection from URL (like /users?page={page}&limit={limit}) [✨WORKING✨]

  • Reduce Prompt tokens used setting up certain APIs for your project

  • ...and best of all, SAVE COUNTLESS HOURS FOR HUMANITY 👏😎😉 by connecting your LLM to any API.

Use cases

  • Connect to N8N, Make.com or Zapier webhook: Make actions in other platforms connecting to automations or integration tools.

  • AI Model Integration: Quickly connect LLMs or other AI models to external APIs for data retrieval, enrichment, or action execution without custom code.

  • Rapid Prototyping: Build and test API workflows using YAML configuration, ideal for hackathons, demos, or proof-of-concept projects.

  • No-Code/Low-Code Automation: Enable non-developers to define and call APIs securely using simple YAML files and environment variables.

  • Data Pipelines: Orchestrate API calls as part of ETL or data processing pipelines, leveraging MCP tools for modularity and reuse.

  • API Gateway: Expose multiple backend APIs through a unified MCP interface, simplifying integration for downstream consumers.

  • Secure API Access: Manage secrets and tokens via environment variables, keeping sensitive data out of source code and YAML files.

Getting started

  1. Get a copy of default api.yaml.

npx -y mcp-api-client --init
  1. You can test default api.yaml with express test server test/server.js. Execute in other terminal.

npx -y mcp-api-client --test-server
  1. Add MCP to your agent config file.

  • Example for Claude Client settings file:

"mcp": { "servers": { "mcp-api-client": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-api-client", "path-to-api.yaml" ] }, } }
  • Example for Visual Studio Code settings file:

"mcp": { "servers": { "mcp-api-client": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-api-client", "path-to-api.yaml" ] }, } }
  1. Just Ask!

Ask to Claude LLM in MCP client

YAML Configuration File

Each API YAML file can include global metadata with MCP information:

metadata: General information about the API set

and a list of API endpoint definitions:

apis: A list of API endpoint definitions. Each endpoint should have

Example API YAML config file example

metadata: name: API Examples version: 1.0.0 description: This file contains examples of various API endpoints for testing purposes. apis: - name: getUser url: https://api.example.com/users/{id} method: GET content: headers: Accept: application/json - name: createUser url: https://api.example.com/users method: POST api-token: ${API_TOKEN} content: headers: Content-Type: application/json body: name: string email: string ...

See public/apis.yaml for a complete example with metadata and all HTTP methods and parameter types.

API_TOKEN from .env (Not tested yet!)

Create a .env file for your API tokens:

API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
