MCP Link - Convert Any OpenAPI V3 API to MCP Server

[](https://discord.gg/qkzfbqdSa9)

🧩 Architecture

🤔 Why MCP Link?

There is a notable gap in the current AI Agent ecosystem:

• Most MCP Servers are simple wrappers around Web APIs
• Functionality interfaces may not be complete, depending on developer implementation
• Manual creation of MCP interfaces is time-consuming and error-prone
• Lack of standardized conversion processes

MCP Link solves these issues through automation and standardization, allowing any API to easily join the AI-driven application ecosystem.

🌟 Key Features

• Automatic Conversion: Generate complete MCP Servers based on OpenAPI Schema
• Seamless Integration: Make existing RESTful APIs immediately compatible with AI Agent calling standards
• Complete Functionality: Ensure all API endpoints and features are correctly mapped
• Zero Code Modification: Obtain MCP compatibility without modifying the original API implementation
• Open Standard: Follow the MCP specification to ensure compatibility with various AI Agent frameworks

🌐 Online Version

Try our hosted version at mcp-link.vercel.app to quickly convert and test your APIs without installation.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/automation-ai-labs/mcp-link.git
cd mcp-openapi-to-mcp-adapter

# Install dependencies
go mod download

Running

# Specify port
go run main.go serve --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0

Parameter Description

• s= - URL of the OpenAPI specification file
• u= - Base URL of the target API
• h= - Authentication header format, in the format of header-name:value-prefix
• f= - Path filter expressions to include or exclude API endpoints. Syntax:
• +/path/** - Include all endpoints under /path/
• -/path/** - Exclude all endpoints under /path/
• +/users/*:GET - Include only GET endpoints for /users/{id}
• Multiple filters can be separated by semicolons: +/**:GET;-/internal/**
• Wildcards: * matches any single path segment, ** matches zero or more segments

Examples

| _ | API | MCP Link URL | Authentication Method | |------|-----|-------------|---------| | | Brave Search | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/brave | API Key | | | DuckDuckGo | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/duckduckgo | None | | | Figma | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/figma | API Token | | | GitHub | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/github | Bearer Token | | | Home Assistant | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/homeassistant | Bearer Token | | | Notion | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/notion | Bearer Token | | | Slack | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/slack | Bearer Token | | | Stripe | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/stripe | Bearer Token | | | TMDB | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/tmdb | Bearer Token | | | YouTube | https://mcp-link.vercel.app/links/youtube | Bearer Token |

Usage in AI Agents

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@service-name": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080/sse?s=[OpenAPI-Spec-URL]&u=[API-Base-URL]&h=[Auth-Header]:[Value-Prefix]"
    }
  }
}

These URLs allow any API with an OpenAPI specification to be immediately converted into an MCP-compatible interface accessible to AI Agents.

📋 Future Development

• MCP Protocol OAuthflow: Implement OAuth authentication flow support for MCP Protocol
• Resources Support: Add capability to handle resource-based API interactions
• MIME Types: Enhance support for various MIME types in API requests and responses
