HAPI MCP Server
HAPI MCP server that dynamically exposes OpenAPI REST APIs as MCP tools for AI assistants. Acts as a bridge between any OpenAPI-documented REST API and the MCP protocol — enabling AI agents to interact with any REST API without requiring a custom MCP server for each one.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Security is proxy to target API. API credentials must be handled securely. Review OpenAPI spec for security scheme definitions.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
A developer has an OpenAPI-documented REST API and wants to quickly expose it to AI agents via MCP without writing a custom MCP server — enabling rapid AI integration of existing APIs.
Avoid When
Your API lacks OpenAPI documentation. Also: dynamic bridging may not handle complex auth flows or API quirks as well as purpose-built MCPs.
Use Cases
- • Dynamically bridging any OpenAPI REST API to MCP from integration agents
- • Enabling AI agents to interact with internal APIs that have OpenAPI specs
- • Rapid prototyping of MCP-enabled API interactions without custom server development
- • Creating MCP interfaces for third-party APIs with OpenAPI documentation
Not For
- • APIs without OpenAPI/Swagger specifications
- • Production use without proper API authentication configuration
- • Replacing dedicated MCP servers for complex API interactions requiring custom logic
Interface
Authentication
Authentication depends on the target API being bridged. HAPI MCP passes through auth credentials to the target API per its OpenAPI spec.
Pricing
Free open source. Target API costs depend on the API being bridged.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Tool quality depends entirely on OpenAPI spec quality of the target API
- ⚠ Complex auth flows (OAuth PKCE, multi-step auth) may not bridge cleanly
- ⚠ OpenAPI spec drift from actual API behavior will cause agent failures
- ⚠ Tool names and descriptions auto-generated from OpenAPI may be unclear to agents
- ⚠ Security posture depends on target API and credentials passed through
