Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP-Bridge?▼
MCP-Bridge is a free browser-based tool that converts OpenAPI v3 JSON specifications into ready-to-use Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configurations. No backend, no signup, and all processing happens in your browser.
Do you store my OpenAPI spec?▼
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Your spec is parsed locally and never transmitted to any server. Your API data stays on your machine.
What MCP clients are supported?▼
The generated configs work with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, and any tool that supports the standard MCP configuration format.
Do I need an account to use the converter?▼
No. The converter is completely free and requires no account, signup, or payment. Paste your spec and get your config instantly.
What OpenAPI versions are supported?▼
We support OpenAPI v3.0.x and v3.1.x JSON specs. The tool auto-detects the version from the openapi field in your spec.
How do I use the generated config?▼
Copy the generated JSON and add it to your MCP client's config file. For Claude Desktop, paste it into claude_desktop_config.json under the mcpServers key. For Cursor, add it to .cursor/mcp.json. Then set the required environment variables (API keys) and restart your client.
What are .cursorrules files?▼
.cursorrules files tell Cursor AI how to behave in your project. They define coding conventions, preferred libraries, and patterns. Our directory includes ready-to-use .cursorrules for popular frameworks like React, Next.js, Python, and more.
How do I get my API listed in the directory?▼
Email us at apis@mcp-bridge.dev with your OpenAPI spec URL. We'll generate an MCP config and add it to the directory.
Do you offer premium assets?▼
Yes. We offer premium .cursorrules bundles (curated packs for full-stack JS, AI/ML, and cloud-native stacks) and enterprise MCP config packs. Coming soon.
Is MCP-Bridge open source?▼
The core parser logic will be open sourced on GitHub. The website itself is a static Next.js export hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
