REST API

Install dkmaker-mcp-rest-api globally so it is available as a binary. This is optional — you can also use npx in the MCP config to run it without a global install.

npm install -g dkmaker-mcp-rest-api

Add the rest-api server to your MCP client config. Set REST_BASE_URL to the base URL of the API you want to test. Add authentication env vars as needed for your target API.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rest-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dkmaker-mcp-rest-api"],
      "env": {
        "REST_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com",
        "AUTH_BEARER": "your-bearer-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set the appropriate env vars for your API's auth scheme. Only set variables for the auth method your API uses; unused auth variables are ignored.

# Bearer token:
AUTH_BEARER=your-token

# Basic auth:
AUTH_BASIC_USERNAME=username
AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=password

# API key header:
AUTH_APIKEY_HEADER_NAME=X-API-Key
AUTH_APIKEY_VALUE=your-api-key

Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client to load the new server configuration. The test_request tool should now be available.

Ask your AI assistant to make a GET or POST request to an endpoint. The AI will use the test_request tool and return the full response including status code, headers, and body.
