MCPify

Point it at API docs, get an MCP server.

MCPify scrapes API documentation, uses Gemini to figure out the endpoints/auth/params, and spits out a config file. The runtime reads that config and runs an MCP server that Claude (or any MCP client) can use to call the API.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcpify.git
cd mcpify
pip install -e .

Needs Python 3.11+ and a Gemini API key.

Usage

export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Parse docs into a config file
mcpify parse https://api.example.com/docs -o my-api.json

# Run the server
mcpify serve my-api.json --auth "your-api-token"

# Or do both at once
mcpify quickstart https://api.example.com/docs --auth "token"

To use with Claude Desktop, add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-api": {
      "command": "mcpify",
      "args": ["serve", "/path/to/my-api.json", "--auth", "your-token"]
    }
  }
}

CLI

mcpify parse <url> - Scrape docs and generate config

mcpify parse https://docs.github.com/en/rest -o github.json --max-pages 15

mcpify serve <config> - Run MCP server

mcpify serve my-api.json --auth "Bearer token" --transport stdio

mcpify show <config> - Print config as table

mcpify quickstart <url> - Parse and serve in one shot

Python API

from mcpify.scraper import scrape_documentation
from mcpify.parser import parse_documentation
from mcpify.runtime import create_mcp_server

# Scrape docs
docs = await scrape_documentation("https://api.example.com/docs")

# Parse with Gemini
config = await parse_documentation(docs)

# Save config
config_path = "my-api.json"
with open(config_path, "w") as f:
    f.write(config.to_json())

# Create and run server
server = create_mcp_server(config, auth_token="your-token")
server.run()

Examples

# GitHub
mcpify parse https://docs.github.com/en/rest/users -o github.json
mcpify serve github.json --auth "ghp_your_token"

# Stripe
