MCP Server for REST API interactions with authentication and Swagger documentation support
Connect MCP Http Client to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP Server for REST API interactions with authentication and Swagger documentation support. The mcp http client mcp server is what makes that connection.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides REST API client functionality with authentication support and Swagger documentation integration.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Building — The Building tool exposed by this serverRunning — The Running tool exposed by this servernpm on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Configuration is passed through the environment: MCP_REST_BASE_URL, MCP_REST_AUTH_TYPE, MCP_REST_TOKEN, MCP_REST_SWAGGER_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP Http Client's toolset — Building, Running — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gyuco; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
