Apideck MCP Server
Model Context Protocol server for the Apideck Unified API. Connect any MCP-compatible agent framework to 200+ connectors — accounting systems, HRIS platforms, file storage providers, and more — through one integration.
Generated from Apideck's OpenAPI spec using Speakeasy.

Local (stdio — for development)
npm install

node bin/mcp-server.js start --api-key "$APIDECK_API_KEY" --consumer-id "$APIDECK_CONSUMER_ID" --app-id "$APIDECK_APP_ID"
# Static mode (all 330 tools)

# OpenAI Agents SDK (local stdio)
from agents import Agent
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio
mcp = MCPServerStdio(name="apideck", params={
"command": "node",
"args": ["bin/mcp-server.js", "start", "--mode", "dynamic"],
"env": {
"APIDECK_API_KEY": "...",
"APIDECK_CONSUMER_ID": "...",
"APIDECK_APP_ID": "..."
}
})
agent = Agent(name="AP Agent", mcp_servers=[mcp])
# Pydantic AI (local stdio)
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStdio
agent = Agent("anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5", mcp_servers=[
MCPServerStdio("node", [

"--api-key", "...", "--consumer-id", "...", "--app-id", "..."
])
])
Static vs Dynamic Mode
| Mode | Tools exposed | Initial tokens | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
dynamic (default) | 4 meta-tools: list_tools, describe_tool_input, execute_tool, list_scopes | ~1,300 | General-purpose agents, token-sensitive contexts |
static | All 330 tools | ~35-55K | Focused agents doing specific operations |
In dynamic mode, agents discover tools progressively:
list_tools({"search_terms": ["invoices"]})
→ accounting-invoices-list, accounting-invoices-create, accounting-invoices-get, ...
describe_tool_input({"tool_names": ["accounting-invoices-list"]})
→ Full JSON Schema with all parameters
execute_tool({"tool_name": "accounting-invoices-list", "input": {"request": {"limit": 10}}})
→ Invoice data from the connected accounting system
Configuring Included APIs
The generate-overlay.py script controls which Apideck APIs are included:
# Default: all unified APIs except SMS (330 tools)
python generate-overlay.py accounting,ats,connector,crm,ecommerce,fileStorage,hris,issueTracking,proxy,vault,webhook
# Accounting only (143 tools)
python generate-overlay.py accounting
# Custom selection
python generate-overlay.py accounting,hris,vault
# All APIs including SMS (~334 tools)
python generate-overlay.py all
# Then regenerate + apply fixes:
speakeasy run
./post-generate.sh
Regeneration
The MCP server is generated from Apideck's Speakeasy-optimized OpenAPI spec. To regenerate after spec changes:
# 1. Optionally reconfigure APIs
python generate-overlay.py accounting,fileStorage,hris,vault,proxy
# 2. Regenerate
speakeasy run
# 3. Apply post-generation fixes (Zod transforms fix + wrangler.toml)
./post-generate.sh
# 4. Run tests
node bin/mcp-server.js serve --port 4567 --mode dynamic --log-level error &
npx tsx test/mcp-server.test.ts
Scopes
Tools are annotated with scopes for fine-grained control:
| Scope | HTTP methods | Flag |
|---|---|---|
read | GET, HEAD | --scope read |
write | POST, PUT, PATCH | --scope write |
destructive | DELETE | --scope destructive |
Testing
# Local
node bin/mcp-server.js serve --port 4567 --mode dynamic --log-level error &
npx tsx test/mcp-server.test.ts
# Remote
MCP_URL=https://mcp.apideck.dev/mcp npx tsx test/mcp-server.test.ts

Installation
[!TIP] To finish publishing your MCP Server to npm and others you must run your first generation action.
Claude Desktop
Install the MCP server as a Desktop Extension using the pre-built mcp-server.mcpb file:
Simply drag and drop the mcp-server.mcpb file onto Claude Desktop to install the extension.
The MCP bundle package includes the MCP server and all necessary configuration. Once installed, the server will be available without additional setup.
[!NOTE] MCP bundles provide a streamlined way to package and distribute MCP servers. Learn more about Desktop Extensions.

Or manually:
- Open Cursor Settings
- Select Tools and Integrations
- Select New MCP Server
- If the configuration file is empty paste the following JSON into the MCP Server Configuration:
{
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@apideck/mcp",
"start",
"--api-key",
"",
"--consumer-id",
"",
"--app-id",
""
]
}
Claude Code CLI
claude mcp add ApideckMcp -- npx -y @apideck/mcp start --api-key --consumer-id --app-id

For a full list of server arguments, run:
npx @apideck/mcp --help
Progressive Discovery
MCP servers with many tools can bloat LLM context windows, leading to increased token usage and tool confusion. Dynamic mode solves this by exposing only a small set of meta-tools that let agents progressively discover and invoke tools on demand.
To enable dynamic mode, pass the --mode dynamic flag when starting your server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ApideckMcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@apideck/mcp", "start", "--mode", "dynamic"],
// ... other server arguments
}
}
}
In dynamic mode, the server registers only the following meta-tools instead of every individual tool:
list_tools: Lists all available tools with their names and descriptions.describe_tool_input: Returns the input schema for one or more tools by name.execute_tool: Executes a tool by name with its arguments.list_scopes: Lists the scopes available on the server.
This approach significantly reduces the number of tokens sent to the LLM on each request, which is especially useful for servers with a large number of tools.
You can combine dynamic mode with scope and tool filters:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ApideckMcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@apideck/mcp", "start", "--mode", "dynamic", "--scope", "destructive"],
// ... other server arguments
}
}
}
