About

MCP server for reading, writing, and organizing API documentation in Apidog.

README

MCP server for reading, writing, and organizing API documentation in Apidog. Works across Claude Desktop, Claude CLI, Cursor, and Antigravity.

Built on a validated POC: Export → Find → Diff → Merge → Import → Verify.

Tools

Read

Tool Description
apidog_export_spec Export full OpenAPI spec
apidog_list_endpoints List endpoints (filterable by tag/path/folder/status)
apidog_get_endpoint Get full details of a specific endpoint
apidog_search_endpoints Fuzzy search by keyword across path/summary/tags/folder

Write

Tool Description
apidog_upsert_endpoint Create or update a single endpoint (with diff + verify)
apidog_upsert_endpoints Batch create/update multiple endpoints
apidog_delete_endpoint Remove an endpoint
apidog_upsert_schema Create or update a component schema
apidog_import_spec Import a full or partial OpenAPI spec

Organize

Tool Description
apidog_analyze_folders Analyze current folder structure and stats
apidog_propose_reorganization Propose better folder organization (dry-run, no changes)
apidog_apply_reorganization Apply a user-validated reorganization plan

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:

  1. Search for the peppol endpoint (apidog_search_endpoints)
  2. Get the current format (apidog_get_endpoint)
  3. Build the updated operation matching the exact existing format
  4. Push the update with diff showing what changed (apidog_upsert_endpoint)
  5. Verify the update landed

Reorganizing folders

"Analyze my API folder structure and suggest a better organization"

The agent will:

  1. Analyze current folders (apidog_analyze_folders)
  2. Propose reorganization (apidog_propose_reorganization)
  3. Present the plan and wait for your approval
  4. 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:

  1. Check existing endpoints to learn the format
  2. Build all 3 operations matching the project format
  3. 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, deprecated
  • x-apidog-maintainer — Team member assignment
  • x-apidog-orders — Field ordering in schema objects
  • x-apidog-ignore-properties — Hidden properties
  • x-apidog-name — Response display names
  • x-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"
      }
    }
  }
}
