Meta API MCP Server
LocalAbout Meta API MCP Server
Meta API MCP Server is an API gateway that turns configured HTTP APIs and Postman Collections into MCP tools. It is for connecting API endpoints to MCP clients, with JSON configuration and a companion visual editor.
Key features
- 01Manage multiple APIs in one server
- 02Convert Postman Collections into tools
- 03Support common HTTP methods
- 04Use API key or bearer authentication
- 05Load configurations from files or URLs
- 06Create and validate configs in a visual editor
Use cases
- 01Expose existing HTTP endpoints to an MCP client
- 02Turn a Postman Collection into MCP tools
- 03Edit and validate API configuration files
MCP support
It exposes configured APIs as tools for MCP clients. Postman Collections can be analyzed and converted into MCP-compatible tools.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y meta-api-mcp-serverYOUR_API_KEYSecretIf the api you are connecting to requires api_key, you can use this variable and you can also define different variablesLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEMeta API MCP Server
A meta API Gateway server that works with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can connect any API to LLMs (Claude, GPT, etc.) through MCP. This enables AI assistants to interact directly with APIs and access real-world data sources.
Features
- 🔄 Multi-API support: Manage multiple APIs through a single server
- 🛠️ Easily add APIs with JSON configuration files
- 📋 Automatically convert Postman Collections to MCP tools
- 🔌 Comprehensive support for HTTP APIs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
- 🔒 Various authentication methods (API Key, Bearer Token)
- 📁 Load configurations from local files or remote URLs
- 📑 Support for configuration file lists
API Editor Tool
A user-friendly editor tool has been developed to create or edit JSON configuration files:
Installation
Global Installation with NPM (Recommended)
npm install -g meta-api-mcp-server
Installation from Source Code
git clone https://github.com/savhascelik/meta-api-mcp-server.git
cd meta-api-mcp-server
npm install
Usage
As a Command Line Tool
# Load from default api-configs/ folder
meta-api-mcp-server
# Specify a configuration file (in the directory where you run the server, there should be a folder with this name and structured json in it)
meta-api-mcp-server path/to/config.json
# Load from a specific folder
meta-api-mcp-server path/to/configs/
# Load from a remote URL
meta-api-mcp-server https://example.com/api-config.json
# Load from a remote configuration list
meta-api-mcp-server https://example.com/config-list.json
# Load from a Postman Collection ( your filename must contain the word ‘postman’, I'll bind it to a variable when I have time )
meta-api-mcp-server path/to/My-API.postman_collection.json
Using with Cursor or Other MCP Clients
To connect to an MCP client like Cursor, configure your mcp.json file as follows:
{
"mcpServers": {
"myApiServer": {
"command": "meta-api-mcp-server",
"args": [
],
"env": {
"MCP_CONFIG_SOURCE":"api-configs/flexweather-endpoints.json",
"API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"myApiServer": {
"command": "meta-api-mcp-server",
"args": [
"server.js",
"path/to/api-config.json"
],
"env": {
"EXAMPLE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"flexweather": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"server.js"
],
"env": {
"MCP_CONFIG_SOURCE":"api-configs/flexweather-endpoints.json"
}
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"lemonsqueezy": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"server.js"
],
"env": {
"MCP_CONFIG_SOURCE":"api-configs/lemon-squeezy-api.json",
"LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
Postman Collection Conversion
Using your existing Postman collections with Meta API MCP Server is now very easy! You can use hundreds of ready-made APIs without writing a single line of code.
- Export your Postman collection (in v2.1.0 format)
- Start Meta API MCP Server with the collection file:
meta-mcp my-collection.postman_collection.json
-
The server will automatically:
- Analyze all endpoints
- Detect the authentication method
- Extract path/query parameters
- Analyze request body structure
- Create MCP tools
-
Add your API key to the
.envfile (the server will tell you which environment variable to use)
Supported Postman Collection Features
- ✅ Multi-level folder structure
- ✅ Bearer token authentication
- ✅ API Key authentication
- ✅ Path parameters
- ✅ Query parameters
- ✅ Headers
- ✅ JSON request body
- ✅ Postman variables (like {{api_url}})
API Editor Tool
A user-friendly editor tool has been developed to create or edit JSON configuration files:
With this web tool, you can:
- Create API configurations through a visual interface
- Edit existing JSON configurations
- Convert Postman collections to MCP-compatible configuration files
- Validate configuration files
- Export your configurations as JSON
Postman Collections: You can upload your existing Postman collections to the editor tool and automatically convert them to MCP-compatible configurations. This allows you to quickly use your existing collections instead of configuring APIs from scratch.
The editor makes it easy to manage tool names, parameters, and all other configuration options.
Project Structure
The codebase is organized in a modular way to facilitate maintenance and extension:
meta-api-mcp-server/
├── serve.js
├── api-configs/ # Default config directory
└── package.json
API Configuration File Format
You can manually configure APIs using the following JSON format:
{
"apiId": "my-api",
"handlerType": "httpApi",
"baseUrl": "https://api.example.com",
"authentication": {
"type": "bearerToken",
"envVariable": "MY_API_TOKEN"
},
"endpoints": [
{
"mcpOperationId": "getUsers",
"description": "Get a list of users",
"targetPath": "/users",
"targetMethod": "GET",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "page",
"in": "query",
"required": false,
"type": "integer",
"description": "Page number"
}
]
}
]
}

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
