Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify the claude_desktop_config.json file to integrate the MCP server. If the file does not exist, create one in the following location:

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS/Linux

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP Server to the Configuration

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "APIMatic": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "" } } } } ``` Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop. Open it to verify that the `validate-openapi-using-apimatic` tool is successfully integrated. ## Usage 1. Add an OpenAPI file. 2. Provide a prompt to validate it. 3. The validation results will be returned. [APIMatic MCP Server For OpenAPI Validation.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7d14e20-1c82-4a70-b237-7e5b6bd80993)
