## Requirements
- **Node.js** >= 18.0.0
- **npm** >= 9.0.0
- An API specification file (Swagger/OpenAPI or Postman Collection)
- **OpenAI API Key** (optional, for enhanced AI-powered understanding)
## Installation
```bash
# Option 1: Install globally
npm install -g mcphy
# Option 2: Try without installing
npx mcphy --help
```
## Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Initialize with your API spec
mcphy init
# 2. Start the conversational server
mcphy serve
# 3. Open your browser
open http://localhost:3000
```
**That's it!** Start chatting with your API in plain English.
### 🚨 Initialization Issues?
If `mcphy init` fails, here are quick fixes:
**❌ No API spec found?**
```bash
# Specify your API spec file explicitly
mcphy init -f path/to/your/swagger.yaml
```
**❌ Invalid specification?**
```bash
# Validate your spec first
mcphy validate path/to/your/api.yaml
```
**❌ File not found?**
```bash
# Check the file exists and use absolute path
mcphy init -f /full/path/to/api.yaml
```
**📖 See [Full Troubleshooting Guide](./docs/troubleshooting.md) for detailed solutions**
