How to Set Up and Use ApiPost MCP
ApiPost MCP bridges AI assistants with the ApiPost API management platform, enabling natural-language control over interface documentation, team workspaces, and project structures. Through eight specialized tools it supports searching APIs hierarchically, creating and updating interface documentation, managing folders, and switching between team and project contexts — all authenticated with your ApiPost access token. Development teams use it to automate API documentation tasks, perform bulk operations across projects, and give LLM agents direct read-write access to their ApiPost workspace.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later and npm 8 or later
- An ApiPost account with an API access token (APIPOST_TOKEN)
- Git to clone the repository
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository and install dependencies
ApiPost MCP is not published to npm, so you must build it from source. Clone the repository, install dependencies, and compile the TypeScript source.
git clone https://github.com/jlcodes99/apipost-mcp.git
cd apipost-mcp
npm install && npm run buildObtain your ApiPost access token
Log in to your ApiPost account and generate an API access token from your account settings. This token is required as the APIPOST_TOKEN environment variable.
Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Open your MCP client config file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) and add the ApiPost server block. Use the absolute path to the compiled dist/index.js file. Optionally set APIPOST_SECURITY_MODE to 'readonly' to prevent write operations.
{
"mcpServers": {
"apipost": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/apipost-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"APIPOST_TOKEN": "your_apipost_access_token",
"APIPOST_SECURITY_MODE": "full",
"APIPOST_DEFAULT_TEAM_NAME": "MyTeam",
"APIPOST_DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME": "MyProject"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Save the configuration and restart your MCP client so it discovers the ApiPost server. Claude Desktop must be fully quit and relaunched.
Test the connection
Ask your AI assistant to test the ApiPost connection using the apipost_test_connection tool. It should return your server status and active workspace configuration.

}Prompts to try
Sample prompts that exercise the search, create, update, and workspace-switching tools.
- "List all API endpoints in the current project that contain 'user' in their path."
- "Create a new folder called 'Authentication' under the root of the current project."
- "Show me the full details of the /api/v1/login interface."
- "Switch to the 'BackendTeam' team and 'PaymentService' project, then list all interfaces."
- "Update the description of the /orders endpoint to mention that it requires an Authorization header."Troubleshooting ApiPost MCP
Authentication fails with 401 or 403 errors
Verify that APIPOST_TOKEN is set to a valid, non-expired ApiPost API token. Regenerate the token from your ApiPost account settings if necessary, and ensure there are no extra spaces or newlines in the value.
apipost_smart_create or apipost_update returns permission errors
Check that APIPOST_SECURITY_MODE is set to 'full' (not 'readonly' or 'limited') and that your ApiPost token has write permissions for the target project. Also confirm the correct team and project are set via apipost_workspace before performing write operations.
Node cannot find the dist/index.js file
Run 'npm run build' in the apipost-mcp directory to compile the TypeScript source. Then use the absolute path to the generated dist/index.js in your MCP client config args array.
