How to Set Up and Use iMCP

iMCP is a universal bridge that converts legacy backend services and modern APIs into AI-accessible tools without code rewrites. It dynamically generates MCP tool definitions from WSDL, OpenAPI, or custom JSON specs, making any service compatible with AI assistants.

Prerequisites

Swift 5.5+ installed (or the compiled binary for your platform)
An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
API specifications (OpenAPI, WSDL, or JSON format) for your services
Access to the backend services you want to expose

Install iMCP

Install iMCP using npx.

npx imcp

Prepare your API specifications

Gather OpenAPI, WSDL, or JSON specifications for the services you want to expose. iMCP will use these to generate tool definitions.

Add to your client configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["imcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_SPECS": "/path/to/your/openapi.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your MCP client

Close and reopen your client to load iMCP.

Verify tool generation

Ask Claude to list available tools. iMCP should have generated tools from your API specs automatically.

iMCP Examples

Client configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration for universal API bridging.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["imcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_SPECS": "/path/to/your/openapi.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Test iMCP with prompts that interact with your bridged APIs.

"List all available tools generated from my API specifications"
"Call the API method that fetches user data"
"Help me understand how to interact with my legacy WSDL services through iMCP"

Troubleshooting iMCP

API specs not being recognized or parsed

Verify your OpenAPI, WSDL, or JSON specifications are valid. Use online validators (e.g., swagger.io) to check OpenAPI specs. Ensure the file path is correct and accessible.

Generated tools are not working correctly

Verify that the backend service is running and accessible from your client machine. Check API credentials and authentication settings. Consult the repository README for spec format details.
