# swagger-tools

MCP server for parsing, validating, and querying OpenAPI/Swagger specifications.

## Quick Start

```bash
npm install
npm run build
npm start
```

## MCP Configuration

Add to `~/.claude.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swagger-tools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/rimskij/projects/swagger-tools/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Code after configuration.

## Available Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Key Parameters |
|------|---------|----------------|
| `parse-spec` | Parse spec, show metadata | `path` |
| `validate-spec` | Validate against schema | `path` |
| `query-endpoints` | Search/filter endpoints | `path`, `method?`, `pathPattern?`, `tag?` |
| `get-schema` | Get schema details | `path`, `schemaName` |
| `generate-types` | Generate TypeScript | `path`, `schemas?` |

## Usage Examples

```
# Natural language - Claude calls the right tool
"Parse the API spec at ./api.yaml"
"Show me all POST endpoints in api.yaml"
"Generate TypeScript types from https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
"Is api.yaml valid?"
"What does the User schema look like?"
```

## Key Features

### Broken $ref Fallback
When specs have broken `$ref` pointers, parser falls back to non-dereferenced mode:
```typescript
// In lib/parser.ts
try {
  spec = await SwaggerParser.dereference(specPath);  // Try first
} catch {
  spec = await SwaggerParser.parse(specPath);        // Fallback
}
```

### .NET Name Sanitization
Converts .NET-style schema names to valid TypeScript:
```typescript
// In tools/generate.ts - sanitizeName()
"Namespace.Type"           → "Type"
"Generic`1[Inner]"         → "Generic_Inner"
"Company.Api.V5.ViewModel" → "ViewModel"
```

```

## Code Patterns

### Tool Structure

Each tool exports:
```typescript
export const toolName = 'tool-name';
export const toolDescription = '...';
export const toolSchema = { param: z.string() };
export async function toolHandler({ param }) { ... }
```

### Return Format

Tools return MCP-compatible responses:
```typescript
return {
  content: [{ type: 'text', text: humanReadable }],
  structuredContent: { success: true, data: ... }
};
```

### Error Handling

Wrap in try/catch, return error in both content and structuredContent:
```typescript
catch (err) {
  return {
    content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error: ${err.message}` }],
    structuredContent: { success: false, error: err.message }
  };
}
```

## Development

```bash
npm run build      # Compile TypeScript
npm run typecheck  # Type check only
npm run dev        # Run with tsx (hot reload)
```

## Testing

```bash
# List tools
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | node dist/index.js

# Local spec
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"parse-spec","arguments":{"path":"test/fixtures/petstore.yaml"}}}' | node dist/index.js

# Remote URL
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"parse-spec","arguments":{"path":"https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"}}}' | node dist/index.js

# Enterprise API with broken refs
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"parse-spec","arguments":{"path":"https://projects.moravia.com/api/swagger/v5/swagger.json"}}}' | node dist/index.js
```

## Adding New Tools

1. Create `src/tools/newtool.ts` following existing pattern
2. Export name, description, schema, handler
3. Import and register in `src/index.ts`:
   ```typescript
   server.tool(name, description, schema, handler);
   ```
4. Rebuild: `npm run build`
