Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@api-mindlist available APIs"
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.
api-mind MCP Server
MCP server for API discovery from .mind spec files. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Quick Start
# 1. Install spec-mind to generate .mind files from OpenAPI specs
brew install spec-mind
# 2. Run the setup script from your project directory
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msegoviadev/api-mind-mcp/main/setup-mcp.sh | bash
# 3. Add your OpenAPI specs and generate .mind files
mkdir specs
cp your-api.yaml specs/
spec-mind sync --no-notation ./specs/
# 4. Restart Claude CodeIn Claude Code:
What APIs are available?
Show me the endpoints for payments
Call GET /payments/{id} in devRelated MCP server: apifable
Installation
Prerequisites
Install spec-mind to generate .mind files from your OpenAPI specs:
brew install spec-mindSetup
Run setup-mcp.sh from your project directory:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msegoviadev/api-mind-mcp/main/setup-mcp.sh | bashOr for user-wide installation (all projects):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msegoviadev/api-mind-mcp/main/setup-mcp.sh | bash -s -- --globalThe script:

Usage
1. Add your API specs
# Copy your OpenAPI/Swagger YAML/JSON files to specs/
cp your-api.yaml specs/2. Generate .mind files
spec-mind sync --no-notation ./specs/3. Use in Claude Code
User: "What APIs are available?"
Claude: *uses list_apis tool*
"Found 2 APIs: ecommerce, payments"
User: "Show me payment endpoints"
Claude: *uses list_endpoints tool*
"POST /payments [auth: oauth2]
GET /payments/{id}"
User: "Call GET /payments/{id} in dev"
Claude: *uses get_endpoint_schema + get_call_context tools*
"Resolved base URL: https://api.dev.example.com
Calling GET /payments/123..."Tools
list_apis
Lists all APIs loaded from the specs folder.
Input: none
Output: JSON with API names, titles, base URLs, and environmentslist_endpoints
Lists endpoints across all APIs.
Input:
filter (optional): Substring match on method, path, or section
Output: JSON with environments and endpoint listget_endpoint_schema
Returns full context for an endpoint.
Input:
api: API name
method: HTTP method
path: Endpoint path
Output: Text block with base URL, environments, auth, and schemaCall before constructing curl to understand the endpoint contract.
get_call_context
Returns runtime context needed to execute API calls.
Input:
api: API name
env (optional): Environment to use (dev, stage, uat). Defaults to dev.
Output: Resolved base URL, active environment, and default values for credentials and parametersCall this before constructing curl when the user wants to actually invoke an endpoint.
Reads from ~/.config/api-mind/<env>.env and ~/.config/api-mind/<api>/<env>.env.
Auth Patterns
When get_endpoint_schema shows auth requirements, construct headers:
Auth in Schema | curl Header |
| No header |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Environment Defaults
get_call_context reads default values from ~/.config/api-mind/:
~/.config/api-mind/
dev.env # base defaults for all APIs (dev environment)
stage.env # base defaults for stage
auth0/
dev.env # API-specific overrides for auth0Each .env file uses key=value format (lines starting with # are ignored). The base_url key overrides the placeholder URL from the spec.
Example ~/.config/api-mind/dev.env:
base_url=https://api.dev.example.com
auth0_client_id=abc123
auth0_cacert=/etc/ssl/cert.pemsetup-mcp.sh scaffolds this file on first run.
Workflow
list_apis → list_endpoints → get_endpoint_schema → get_call_context → [LLM constructs curl] → bashlist_apis- Discover available APIslist_endpoints- Find relevant endpointsget_endpoint_schema- Get endpoint contract (URL, auth, schema)get_call_context- Resolve base URL and credentials for the target environmentLLM constructs curl command using resolved values

Advanced Configuration
Manual Installation
claude mcp add --transport stdio api-mind \
--env SPECS_DIR=/absolute/path/to/specs \
-- npx -y @msegoviadev/api-mind-mcpImportant: Always use absolute paths. MCP servers run as standalone processes without project context.
Project Configuration (.mcp.json)
Create .mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"api-mind": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@msegoviadev/api-mind-mcp"],
"env": {
"SPECS_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/specs"
}
}
}
}Note: Each team member needs their own .mcp.json with their absolute path. Add .mcp.json to .gitignore.
Development (Contributors)
git clone https://github.com/msegoviadev/api-mind-mcp
cd api-mind-mcp
