openapi-mcp-bridge: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

openapi-mcp-bridge CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ephrin/openapi-mcp-bridge. It costs 1,235 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for developing the openapi-mcp-bridge repository. OpenAPI is a format that describes web APIs, and MCP is a standard for exposing callable tools to AI agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, testing, linting, type-checking, and running the bridge that turns OpenAPI operations into MCP tools.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the commands, architecture, and supported server modes needed to work consistently in the project.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is ephrin/openapi-mcp-bridge's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on openapi-mcp-bridge itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything openapi-mcp-bridge configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openapi-mcp-bridge CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Development Commands

  • npm install - Install all dependencies
  • npm run build - Compile TypeScript to JavaScript (outputs to dist/)
  • npm run dev - Run in development mode with hot-reloading using tsx
  • npm start - Run the compiled server from dist/
  • npm run server - Run the HTTP-based development server
  • npm run lint - Run ESLint on TypeScript files
  • npm run typecheck - Check TypeScript types without emitting files

Architecture Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that dynamically exposes OpenAPI specifications as callable tools. The project supports multiple deployment modes: as a stdio-based MCP server, HTTP server, or integrated into Express/Koa/Fastify applications.

Core Architecture

The project follows a modular, service-oriented architecture:

  1. Definition Loading: OpenAPI specifications are loaded from a definitions directory
  2. Parsing & Enrichment: Specs are parsed, references resolved, and enriched with customizations
  3. Tool Generation: Each OpenAPI operation is converted to an MCP tool with proper schemas
  4. Request Execution: Tool calls are mapped back to HTTP API requests
  5. Response Handling: API responses are normalized and returned as tool results

Key Components

Core Service (src/services/mcp-proxy-service.ts)
  • MCPProxyService: Orchestrates all functionality
    • Loads and manages multiple OpenAPI definitions from a directory
    • Converts OpenAPI operations to MCP tools via enrichers and converters
    • Executes tool calls by mapping them to HTTP requests
    • Handles authentication and parameter validation
Parsers (src/parsers/)
  • OpenAPIDefinitionParser: Parses and validates OpenAPI 3.0 specifications
    • Uses @readme/openapi-parser for reference resolution
    • Extracts paths, parameters, request bodies, and security schemes
  • CustomizationLoader: Loads .custom.yaml files for per-definition configuration
    • Tool aliases and descriptions
    • Predefined parameters
    • Authentication credentials

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
