5 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 2,109 GitHub stars.
- 4 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- MIT license.
- Auto-generates MCP tools from OpenAPI specs.
- Go binary; no runtime dependencies.
- Auto-generated tool surface lacks the polish of hand-built MCPs.
- Tool descriptions inherit from OpenAPI summaries; quality varies by source spec.
- Community-maintained.
Wrapped APIs use their own credentials; treat each wrapped API's scope as the agent's effective scope. invoke_endpoint can call any wrapped endpoint; restrict the agent prompt path or use OpenAPI tag-based filtering.
Teams with existing REST/GraphQL APIs who want to expose them to agents without writing custom MCP servers; rapid prototyping where a full MCP build is overkill; legacy API integration where modifying the API is impossible.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
