API Test tools (8, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
call_endpointMake an actual HTTP call to a documented endpoint and return the real status, headers, and body.
check_healthOne-shot health check: calls each given endpoint (or, if none given, every parameter-free GET in the
diff_api_specsCompare two OpenAPI/Swagger specs (each a URL or local file path — e.g. an old tag vs. the current main)
list_endpointsList every endpoint (method + path) from the currently loaded API spec.
load_api_specLoad and fully dereference an OpenAPI/Swagger spec from a URL or local file path (JSON or YAML).
run_all_testswrite actionBest-effort run across every GET endpoint that needs no required parameters: calls each one for real and
test_endpointCall a documented endpoint with real parameters, then validate the real response against its documented schema.
validate_responseCheck a response body against the JSON schema documented for a given method + path + status code.

What the publisher says
From the API Test repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
api-test-mcp
An MCP server that gives Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI agent the ability to actually call your API and check the response against what your OpenAPI spec promises — not just read the docs and guess.
No API keys, no config, no cost. Works with any OpenAPI/Swagger 3.x spec (URL or local file).
Why this exists
AI agents are great at reading an OpenAPI spec and writing code against it — but they're guessing about whether the real API actually behaves the way the spec says. This gives an agent (or you, in a normal chat) a way to find out for real: call the live endpoint, and check whether the response actually matches the documented schema.
Install
git clone <this repo>
cd api-test-mcp
npm installAdd it to your MCP client config, e.g. for Claude Code:
claude mcp add api-test -- node /absolute/path/to/api-test-mcp/src/index.jsOr in claudedesktopconfig.json / Cursor's MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"api-test": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/api-test-mcp/src/index.js"]
}
}
}Tools
All of the above accept an optional auth preset (bearer, apiKey in a header or query param, or basic) so authenticated APIs aren't limited to hand-building raw headers, and an optional timeoutMs.
Example (what an agent conversation looks like)
You: Load my API spec at https://api.example.com/openapi.json and check whether /users/{id} actually returns what it documents.
Agent: (calls loadapispec, then testendpoint with a real user id) → "Called it — got a 200, but the response is missing the createdat field your spec marks as required, and role is documented as an enum of 3 values but the API returned "superadmin", which isn't one of them."
For an authenticated API:

API Test: common questions
- Is API Test MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (85/100). Read the API Test safety report
- How do I install API Test?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does API Test need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is API Test maintained?
- The last commit was 66 days ago (2026-08-31). The latest release is v1.0.2.
- What can I use instead of API Test?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Keploy MCP server.
- How does API Test compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 85/100 (higher than 70% of 48,243 servers); tools 8 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 13% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
