Summon App

What is Summon App

Summon-app is an all-in-one desktop application designed for building, testing, and sharing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and AI agents.

Use cases

Use cases for summon-app include creating a unified MCP server from multiple APIs, testing AI interactions in real-time, and securely managing API credentials for various applications.

How to use

To use summon-app, download and install the application, import OpenAPI specifications, configure your MCP server settings, and utilize the AI Playground for testing. You can also connect to existing MCP servers and manage API authentication.

Key features

Key features include OpenAPI to MCP generation, API authentication configuration, external MCP support, an interactive AI Playground, live tool editing, and secure credential storage.

Where to use

Summon-app can be used in software development, API management, AI model testing, and any scenario that requires building and managing MCP servers.

The main features of the Summon app are:

Features	Description
OpenAPI to MCP Generation	Import OpenAPI specs, visually select endpoints to include in your MCP server. Combine multiple APIs into a single, cohesive server.
API Auth	Configure authentication for real API calls or use mock servers to test your MCP tools without external dependencies.
External MCP Support	Connect to any existing MCP server (local or remote) via `mcp.json` configuration. Support for CLI-based servers with automatic tool discovery.
AI Playground	Test MCP tool calling in an interactive chat interface with multiple AI models including OpenAI, Anthropic and more.
Live Tool Editing	Modify tool names, descriptions, and input schemas on the fly without restarting servers. View diffs of your modifications in real-time.
Datasets	Create and manage test datasets with conversation scenarios, expected tool calls, and evaluation criteria. AI-assisted generation of test cases.
Evals	Run evaluations of your MCPs against dataset items. Track performance metrics and tool calling accuracy.
