Installation
Clone the repository, then install dependencies and build in the project directory:
git clone <repo-url>
cd yapi-mcp
npm install
npm run buildConfiguration
Environment Variables
Variable | Required | Description |
| Yes | YAPI server URL, e.g., |
| Yes | Project configuration in format: |
YAPI_PROJECTS Format
projectId1:token1,projectId2:token2Example:
123:abc123token,456:def456tokenYou can get the project token from YAPI project settings page.
Usage with Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP configuration file:
macOS/Linux
Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json and replace /path/to/yapi-mcp with your actual project path:
{
"mcpServers": {
"yapi": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/yapi-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"YAPI_BASE_URL": "https://your-yapi-server.com",
"YAPI_PROJECTS": "123:your-token-here,456:another-token"
}
}
}
}Windows
Edit %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.json and use your actual project path (e.g. C:\\Users\\YourName\\yapi-mcp\\dist\\index.js):
{
"mcpServers": {
"yapi": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:\\path\\to\\yapi-mcp\\dist\\index.js"],
"env": {
"YAPI_BASE_URL": "https://your-yapi-server.com",
"YAPI_PROJECTS": "123:your-token-here"
}
}
}
}Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
macOS
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and replace /path/to/yapi-mcp with your actual project path:
{
"mcpServers": {
"yapi": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/yapi-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"YAPI_BASE_URL": "https://your-yapi-server.com",
"YAPI_PROJECTS": "123:your-token-here"
}
}
}
}Windows
Edit %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json with the same configuration, using your actual project path.

Scored across 11 tools
The tools have clear distinctions for core operations like add, get, list, and save, but there is significant overlap between yapi_interface_add and yapi_interface_save (which handles both add and update), and between yapi_interface_list and yapi_interface_list_menu (both list interfaces with slight variations). This overlap could cause confusion for agents when selecting the appropriate tool.
Most tools follow a consistent yapi_verb_noun pattern (e.g., yapi_interface_add, yapi_interface_get), with clear prefixes and snake_case throughout. However, there are minor deviations like yapi_interface_up instead of yapi_interface_update, and yapi_run_auto_test uses 'run' while others use verbs like 'add' or 'get', slightly breaking the pattern.
With 11 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing YAPI interfaces and projects. The count aligns with the domain's needs, covering operations for projects, interfaces, categories, and testing without being overwhelming or too sparse.
The toolset provides strong coverage for YAPI management, including CRUD operations for interfaces and categories, project listing, and automated testing. A minor gap is the lack of explicit tools for deleting interfaces or categories, which might require workarounds, but core workflows are well-supported.
