Quick Start
1. Get your Apidog credentials
- Access Token: Apidog → Account Settings → API Access Token → New
- Project ID: Found in your project URL or project settings
2. Add to your MCP client
No installation needed — just add this config block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apidog": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "apidog-sync-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"APIDOG_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token",
"APIDOG_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id"
}
}
}
}
That's it. npx downloads and runs the server automatically.
Where to put this config
| Client | Config file |
|---|---|
| Claude Code (global) | ~/.claude.json |
| Claude Code (per-project) | .mcp.json in project root |
| Claude Desktop | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json |
| Windsurf | MCP settings panel |
Multiple Apidog projects
Use separate entries — each pointing to a different project ID:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apidog-frontend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "apidog-sync-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"APIDOG_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token",
"APIDOG_PROJECT_ID": "frontend-project-id"
}
},
"apidog-backend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "apidog-sync-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"APIDOG_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token",
"APIDOG_PROJECT_ID": "backend-project-id"
}
}
}
}
Usage Examples
Updating an endpoint after a route change
"I updated the validation rules on the peppol endpoint, the description should say the format must be scheme:identifier with a single colon. Update the docs."
The agent will:
- Search for the peppol endpoint (
apidog_search_endpoints) - Get the current format (
apidog_get_endpoint) - Build the updated operation matching the exact existing format
- Push the update with diff showing what changed (
apidog_upsert_endpoint) - Verify the update landed
Reorganizing folders
"Analyze my API folder structure and suggest a better organization"
The agent will:
- Analyze current folders (
apidog_analyze_folders) - Propose reorganization (
apidog_propose_reorganization) - Present the plan and wait for your approval
- Apply only after you confirm (
apidog_apply_reorganization)
Batch updates from route changes
"I added 3 new routes for invoice management: POST /api/v1/invoices, GET /api/v1/invoices/{id}, DELETE /api/v1/invoices/{id}. Add them to the docs."
The agent will:
- Check existing endpoints to learn the format
- Build all 3 operations matching the project format
- Batch upsert them (
apidog_upsert_endpoints)
Reorganization Strategies
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
path-based |
Infer folders from URL paths: /api/v1/admin/billing/... → Admin/Billing |
preserve-top-level |
Keep existing top-level folders, reorganize sub-levels |
flat |
Single level by main resource name |
Custom mappings let you override specific prefixes:
{
"customMappings": {
"/api/v1/admin": "Administration",
"/auth": "Authentication",
"/api/v1/public": "Public API"
}
}
Apidog Extensions
Fully supports:
x-apidog-folder— Folder path:"Safetytracker V1/Super Admin/Billing"x-apidog-status— Lifecycle:designing,developing,released,deprecatedx-apidog-maintainer— Team member assignmentx-apidog-orders— Field ordering in schema objectsx-apidog-ignore-properties— Hidden propertiesx-apidog-name— Response display namesx-apidog-ordering— Response ordering
How Writes Work
Every write operation follows the POC-validated flow:
Export current spec (preserves all formatting)
↓
Find target endpoint (exact match or fuzzy search)
↓
Compute diff (show what changed)
↓
Merge into full spec (deep merge, preserve untouched endpoints)
↓
Import with OVERWRITE_EXISTING
↓
Verify (re-export and confirm)
No endpoints are lost. No formatting is changed on untouched endpoints.
Development
To run from source (for contributing or local testing):
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/apidog-sync-mcp-server.git
cd apidog-sync-mcp-server
npm install
Then point your MCP config to the local source:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apidog": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/apidog-sync-mcp-server/src/index.js"],
"env": {
"APIDOG_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token",
"APIDOG_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id"
}
}
}
}
