APIMatic Validator MCP Server for validating OpenAPI specs via APIMatic's API with MCP

What is APIMatic Validator MCP Server

APIMatic Validator MCP Server

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for validating OpenAPI specifications using APIMatic. The server processes OpenAPI files and returns validation summaries by leveraging APIMatic’s API.

Features

  • Validates OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 files
  • Uses APIMatic’s API for comprehensive validation
  • Supports both JSON and YAML formats
  • Implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless integration

Installation

Ensure that Node.js v18+ is installed.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/apimatic/apimatic-validator-mcp.git
cd apimatic-validator-mcp

Install Dependencies

npm install

Build the Project

npm run build

Configuration

To use the server, an APIMatic API key is required. Sign up at APIMatic and obtain the API key.

Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify the claude_desktop_config.json file to integrate the MCP server. If the file does not exist, create one in the following location:

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS/Linux

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP Server to the Configuration

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "APIMatic": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "<Add your APIMatic token here>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop. Open it to verify that the validate-openapi-using-apimatic tool is successfully integrated.

Usage

  1. Add an OpenAPI file.
  2. Provide a prompt to validate it.
  3. The validation results will be returned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
