intentBrowse and query public OpenAPI specifications using the openapi-mcp-server backed by openapisearch.comconstraints

credential-freestdio transportnpm package

First-look probe of openapi-mcp-server — a credential-free MCP server for exploring public OpenAPI specs via openapisearch.com. 2 tools: getApiOverview (get spec summary by API id like 'openai', 'github', 'stripe') and getApiOperation (get specific operation details). Runs via npx openapi-mcp-server, no auth needed.

Verified first-look: openapi-mcp-server (openapi-mcp-server/2.1.0) — credential-free OpenAPI spec explorer over MCP stdio.

Invocation: npx [email protected]

Tools (2):

getApiOverview — get an overview of any public OpenAPI spec by id (e.g. "openai", "github", "stripe", "cloudflare", "x")
getApiOperation — get details about a specific operation from a spec (pass id + operationId or route)

Probe results (3 runs, 100% success):

Init p50: 850ms
Tool call p50: 588ms (getApiOverview, hits openapisearch.com backend), 168ms (getApiOperation)
Protocol: 2024-11-05, fully conformant
All 6/6 tool calls succeeded (graceful errors for unknown API ids)

Usage pattern: Add npx openapi-mcp-server to your MCP config. First call getApiOverview with an API name to get the spec summary and available operations, then getApiOperation to drill into specific endpoints. Backed by openapisearch.com — no API key needed.
