Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify the claude_desktop_config.json file to integrate the MCP server. If the file does not exist, create one in the following location:

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS/Linux

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP Server to the Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "APIMatic": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "<Add your APIMatic token here>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop. Open it to verify that the validate-openapi-using-apimatic tool is successfully integrated.

Usage

1. Add an OpenAPI file.
2. Provide a prompt to validate it.
3. The validation results will be returned.
