mcpgen: Turn any OpenAPI spec into an MCP server in seconds

I got tired of manually writing MCP tools for every REST endpoint I wanted to expose to an LLM. So I automated it. mcpgen reads an OpenAPI JSON or YAML file and generates a complete, ready‑to‑run MCP server in Python. 🔧 What it does Parses OpenAPI 3.0 / 3.1 specs Creates one MCP tool per endpoint (with snake_case names) Handles auth automatically (API key, Bearer, etc.) Outputs a clean, human‑readable Python script Zero runtime surprises – just mcp and httpx 🚀 Quick start bash pip install mcpgen mcpgen my-api.json -o my-mcp-server python my-mcp-server/server.py The generated server runs over stdio – ready to plug into Claude Desktop or any MCP client. 🧪 Real‑world test Recently a contributor added an OpenAPI 3.1 fixture (Xquik API) with lookupTweet and getUser endpoints. The tool generated the correct tools, including path parameters and x-api-key auth, on the first try. All 18 tests pass. It works. 🤔 Why you might want it If you’re building LLM agents that need to interact with APIs, mcpgen eliminates the boilerplate. You don’t have to write a single @app.tool() decorator by hand. It also makes it dead simple to experiment – change your API spec, regenerate the server, and you’re done. 📦 Links GitHub: JnanaSrota/mcpgen PyPI: pip install mcpgen MIT licensed, open to contributions 🙏 Feedback If you try it with your own API spec and something breaks (or works beautifully), I’d love to hear about it.
