Swapi MCP Server

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Swapi MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. MCP server for SWAPI API.

The short version

A TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Star Wars API data as MCP tools.

• MCP server built with TypeScript
• stdio-based MCP transport
• Fetches Star Wars data from SWAPI
• Tool schema validation with Zod
• Includes Vitest test setup
• Supports coverage reports

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

What it needs from you

• Node.js 20 or newer - npm Some MCP-related dependencies require Node.js 20+, so using the latest LTS version is recommended.

Things to watch

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling 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. It is maintained by abhishekjkrsna; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
