Legacy REST for Humans. Optimized MCP for Intelligence.

"One command. Any API. Instant MCP server."

The mcp-server-generator is a high-performance, enterprise-grade compiler that transforms any OpenAPI/Swagger specification into a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

LLMs often struggle with large OpenAPI specs due to context window limits and "hallucination noise." This tool solves that by applying Semantic Compression and Resource Grouping to deliver ultra-efficient tool definitions that "just work."

🏗️ System Architecture

Our 5-stage pipeline is designed for maximum resilience, correctness, and LLM efficiency.

🔥 Key Innovations

🧠 Semantic Compression (Optimizer)

Stop wasting thousands of tokens on "This endpoint returns a list of...". Our optimizer strips implementation details and boilerplate, enforcing a strict token budget per tool.

• Boilerplate Removal: Regex-based stripping of common API phrases.
• Contextual Truncation: Sentence-level pruning that preserves core intent.
• Token Budgeting: Ensures every tool fits comfortably in a 200k-2M context.

📦 Resource-Centric Grouping (Mapper)

Instead of overwhelming the LLM with 500 individual endpoints, we group CRUD operations by resource.

• Grouped Tools: /users, POST /users, and /users/{id} become a single manage_users tool.
• Action Parameter: Uses an action enum (list, create, get, update, delete) to dispatch requests.
• Efficiency: Reduces tool count by 60-80% without losing functionality.

🔐 Enterprise Auth (Generator)

The generated servers include a full authentication layer out-of-the-box.

• OAuth2 Client Credentials: Full implementation with automatic Token Caching & Refresh.
• Configurable Timeouts: Environment-variable controlled API timeouts.
• Exponential Backoff: Built-in retries for 429/5xx errors.

⚡ Quick Start

1. Generate Your Server

Transform your API spec into a TypeScript project in seconds.

# Generate from Remote URL
npx mcp-generate https://api.stripe.com/v1/openapi.json -o ./stripe-mcp

# Generate from Local File
npx mcp-generate ./petstore.yaml -o ./petstore-mcp

2. Launch

The output is a complete, standalone Node.js project.

cd ./stripe-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env  # Add your API keys
npm run build
npm start
