openapi2mcp

🎯 Why?

MCP is exploding, but every REST API still needs a hand-written MCP server. OpenAPI specs already describe tools, parameters, and schemas, so there is a missing zero-config bridge that turns existing API contracts into MCP tools for Claude, Cursor, and other agents.

Target audience: AI application developers and platform engineers who want coding agents to call internal or public REST APIs without writing bespoke MCP servers.

✨ Features

• ✨ Generates MCP tools from OpenAPI paths and schemas
• ✨ Runs a minimal MCP stdio server with tools/list and tools/call
• ✨ Supports default auth headers, method allowlists, and base URL overrides
