Level Up Your Coding Workflow: Apidog MCP Server

While ChatGPT Team boosts AI collaboration, Apidog enhances your API development ecosystem—especially with its free MCP Server integration.

What Is Apidog MCP Server?

Apidog MCP Server connects your API specifications directly to AI-powered IDEs like Cursor and VS Code. This enables your IDE’s AI assistant to read, search, and generate code from your live API specs—streamlining everything from prototyping to documentation.

Direct API Spec Access: Let AI tools instantly reference your live API definitions.
Supports Multiple Sources: Connect Apidog projects, OpenAPI/Swagger files, or public docs.
Automated Code Generation: Instantly create DTOs, endpoint code, and docs—direct from your API schema.

How to Integrate Apidog MCP Server with Your IDE

Set up Apidog’s MCP Server in minutes and empower your favorite AI coding tools.

Prerequisites

Node.js installed (version 18+ recommended).
Supported IDE: Cursor, or any IDE with MCP support.

Step 1: Prepare Your OpenAPI File

Have your API definition ready as either:

A URL (e.g., https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json)
Or a local file path (e.g., ~/projects/api-docs/openapi.yaml)
Formats: .json or .yaml (OpenAPI 3.x recommended)

Step 2: Add MCP Configuration to Cursor

Configure your IDE to launch Apidog MCP Server.

configuring MCP Server in Cursor

Example for MacOS/Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "API specification": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "apidog-mcp-server@latest",
        "--oas=https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Example for Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "API specification": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "apidog-mcp-server@latest",
        "--oas=https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json with your own API’s URL or path.

Step 3: Test the Connection

In your IDE’s Agent mode, run:

Please fetch API documentation via MCP and tell me how many endpoints exist in the project.

If successful, you’ll see a structured response with endpoint details. If not, verify your OpenAPI path and Node.js setup.
