Swagger MCP
Dynamically generates MCP tools from Swagger/OpenAPI specifications by extracting swagger.json files at runtime. Enables natural language interaction with any REST API that has Swagger documentation.
README
swagger-mcp
Overview
swagger-mcp is a tool designed to scrape Swagger UI by extracting the swagger.json file and dynamically generating well-defined mcp tools at runtime. These tools can be utilized by the MCP client for further tool selection.

Prerequisites
To use swagger-mcp, ensure you have the following dependencies:
- LLM Model API Key / Local LLM: Requires access to OpenAI, Claude, or Ollama models.
- Any MCP Client: (Used mark3labs - mcphost)
Installation and Setup
Follow these steps to install and run swagger-mcp:
go install github.com/danishjsheikh/swagger-mcp@latest
swagger-mcp
Run Configuration
To run swagger-mcp directly, use:
swagger-mcp --specUrl=https://your_swagger_api_docs.json
Main flags:
--specUrl: Swagger/OpenAPI JSON URL (required)--sseMode: Run in SSE mode (default: false, if true runs as SSE server, otherwise uses stdio)--sseAddr: SSE server listen address in IP:Port or :Port format (if empty, will use IP:Port from --sseUrl)--sseUrl: SSE server base URL (if empty, will use sseAddr to generate, e.g. http://IP:Port or http://localhost:Port)- If both --sseAddr and --sseUrl are set, they are used as-is without auto-complement.
--baseUrl: Override base URL for API requests--security: API security type (basic,apiKey, orbearer)--basicAuth: Basic auth in user:password format--bearerAuth: Bearer token for Authorization header--apiKeyAuth: API key(s), formatpassAs:name=value(e.g.header:token=abc,query:user=foo,cookie:sid=xxx)- See main.go for all supported flags and options.
MCP Configuration
To integrate with mcphost, include the following configuration in .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers":
{
"swagger_loader": {
"command": "swagger-mcp",
"args": ["--specUrl=<swagger/doc.json_url>"]
}
}
}

🛠️ Need Help
I am working on improving tool definitions to enhance:
✅ Better error handling for more accurate responses
✅ LLM behavior control to ensure it relies only on API responses and does not use its own memory
✅ Preventing hallucinations and random data generation by enforcing strict data retrieval from APIs
If you have insights or suggestions on improving these aspects, please contribute by:
- Sharing your experience with similar implementations
- Suggesting modifications to tool definitions
- Providing feedback on current limitations
Your input will be invaluable in making this tool more reliable and effective! 🚀
