API Tester MCP Server
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
Integrations
Supports secure API key management through .env files, allowing users to store sensitive credentials like OpenAI API keys without exposing them in chat.
Supports environment variable configuration on Linux systems when setting up API keys for service integrations.
Provides environment variable configuration support for macOS systems when setting up API keys for service integrations.
API Tester MCP Server
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows Claude to make API requests on your behalf. It provides tools for testing various APIs, including a dedicated integration with OpenAI's APIs.

Security Notes
- Your OpenAI API key is stored in the server and not exposed in the chat
- API usage will count against your OpenAI quota and may incur charges
- For production use, always set the API key as an environment variable or use a
.env
file - The
.env
file is included in.gitignore
to prevent accidentally committing your API key
