# Swagger MCP server > Search, read and manage API definitions and portals in SwaggerHub (Swagger Studio) from your AI assistant. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/swagger - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Developer Tools](https://mcp.tc/c/developer-tools) - Vendor: SmartBear - Homepage: ## About Connects an AI assistant to Swagger by SmartBear. It covers Swagger Studio, where you manage APIs and domains, including generating APIs from prompts and standardizing definitions, and Swagger Portal, where you manage portals and products. SmartBear hosts the server at https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp using streamable HTTP. Users sign in through an OAuth browser flow, with no install needed. A Swagger-Api-Key header can be sent instead of OAuth. Optional headers set custom Registry or Portal base paths and enable Functional Testing tools. A local npm package, @smartbear/mcp, is also available and needs Node.js 22+. ## What it can do - Search and read API definitions in Swagger Studio - Manage APIs and domains - Generate APIs from natural language prompts - Apply automatic standardization to API definitions - Manage Swagger Portal portals and products ## Example prompts - "Find the API definitions in my SwaggerHub organization that mention payments." - "Generate a new OpenAPI definition for a simple bookstore API." - "Show me the latest version of the Orders API definition." - "List the products in my Swagger Portal." ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http swagger https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **swagger** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the SmartBear sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Swagger** and paste this URL: ```url https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when SmartBear asks. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when SmartBear asks. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. Paste `https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to SmartBear to sign in. Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "swagger": { "url": "https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"swagger","type":"http","url":"https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "swagger": { "type": "http", "url": "https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp" } } } ``` VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "swagger": { "serverUrl": "https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add swagger --url https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp codex mcp login swagger ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.swagger] url = "https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http swagger https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth swagger` to sign in. This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "swagger": { "type": "http", "url": "https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://swagger.mcp.smartbear.com/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 0.33.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-03 (not reachable) - Listed: 2026-10-03 - Updated: 2026-10-03 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/swagger (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
