Overview
OpenAPI MCP Server is a tool that allows you to interact with any OpenAPI (v3.1) compliant API through Claude Desktop, acting as a proxy that converts OpenAPI endpoints into easy-to-use tools.
To use the OpenAPI MCP Server, configure Claude Desktop with the path to your OpenAPI specification and start interacting with the API through natural language commands.
- Automatically converts OpenAPI endpoints into Claude tools for easy interaction - Supports file uploads for APIs that accept multipart/form-data - Handles API calls and responses automatically
- Local testing of API endpoints through natural conversation.
- Quickly prototyping integrations with third-party APIs.
- Learning how to use APIs through interactive dialogue and examples.

Use these steps to connect OpenAPI MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"snaggle-ai-openapi-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-snaggle-ai-openapi-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
