MCP is here and I started to implement it into our code base. It was clunky, had bugs and was wondering if there was a product to convert your existing REST API spec into an MCP server. Everyone has an API spec and wouldn't it be great if all REST APIs out there are MCP ready with no code? Then I thought of building RapidMCP.
I'd love to add a feature where it takes an OpenAPI Swagger spec and then converts it to an MCP server for you. There are also some auth considerations.
Would love feedback/thoughts/comments from the community about whether this is a viable product?
This hits exactly where MCP is still rough for most devs. Love the vision behind RapidMCP — turning existing OpenAPI specs into MCP servers would be a game-changer for anyone trying to “agentify” legacy systems without rebuilding them from scratch.
Auth is definitely a tricky area, especially if you’re dealing with token scopes or user-specific routing — would be curious how you’re thinking about handling things like OAuth2 flows or even internal API keys in an MCP context.
I’d 100% use this if it helps bridge the gap between traditional REST APIs and the emerging agent infrastructure. Excited to see where you take this!
@williamrobertscott Fantastic feedback. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I'd be more than happy to share additional details or provide any setup guidance if you are keen to try it out. Contact me on linkedin/socials if that's something of interest.
This is a smart direction — converting existing REST APIs to MCP with no code feels like a huge unlock, especially for teams that want to experiment without deep protocol-level refactors. Swagger/OpenAPI support is a must IMO — almost every modern API has a spec, and making that the entry point is super smart.
Auth is definitely the tricky part, especially with custom token logic or layered permissions — curious how you plan to abstract that cleanly without making it too rigid.
Overall though, love the idea. It feels like the kind of infrastructure tool that could quietly become essential if done right. Would definitely keep an eye on this.
