AutoMCP - Automated API Client Generation

AutoMCP is a powerful CLI tool that automatically generates MCP servers from documentation. It supports scraping API documentation from URLs or direct input and generates fully functional, published servers.

Features

• 🤖 AI-powered documentation parsing using multiple providers:
  • OpenAI
  • Google Gemini
  • Anthropic
• 📚 Multiple documentation input methods:
  • URL scraping (supports multiple URLs)
  • Direct text input
• 🔄 Automatic server generation
• 📦 NPM package publishing support
• ⚡ Server-Sent Events (SSE) support
• 🔒 Api Key Authentication

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• NPM account (for publishing)
• API key for one of the supported AI providers:
  • OpenAI API key
  • Google Gemini API key
  • Anthropic API key

Installation

npm install -g @automcp.app/cli

Configuration

Set up your environment variables for the AI provider you want to use:

# For OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key

# For Google Gemini
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key

# For Anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key

Usage

1. Run the CLI tool:

automcp

2. Follow the interactive prompts:
   • Select an AI provider
   • Enter a name for your server
   • Choose documentation source (URLs or direct input)
   • Provide API documentation
   • Choose whether to publish to NPM

Running Generated Server

If you choose not to publish to NPM, you can run the server locally:

cd servers/<your-server-name>
npm install
npm run build
npm start -- --sse

Client Configuration

The generated server can be accessed in clients like Cursor using one of two configurations in your .cursor/mcp.json file:

1. For locally running servers:

"mcp": {
  "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
}

2. For NPM published servers:

"mcp": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@path-to/your-package-name@latest"
  ]
}

Publishing to NPM

When publishing to NPM, you can choose between:

• Your personal NPM scope (@username/package-name)
• AutoMCP scope (@automcp.app/package-name)

Make sure you're logged in to NPM before publishing:

npm login

Output Structure

The generated server will have the following structure:

servers/<your-server-name>/
├── index.ts           # Main server file with MCP implementation
├── package.json       # Project dependencies and scripts
├── tsconfig.json     # TypeScript configuration
├── .gitignore        # Git ignore rules
├── README.md         # Server documentation
└── dist/             # Compiled JavaScript output (after build)

Error Handling

• The tool validates API keys before processing
• Provides detailed error messages for failed URL scraping
• Validates server name format
• Checks NPM login status before publishing
