Basic Information
emcee is a command-line tool that exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for any web application that publishes an OpenAPI specification. It is intended for developers who want to make APIs available as tools to AI clients such as Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible applications, enabling plugin-like access to external tools and data without writing a custom MCP server. emcee runs as a stdio JSON-RPC server, accepts an OpenAPI spec file or URL as input, and exposes selected endpoints as MCP tools. The README documents installation options (installer script, Homebrew, Docker, or build from source with Go 1.24+), basic usage and CLI flags, authentication options, and guidance for transforming OpenAPI specs before exposing them. It is positioned as a convenient bridge for services you are building that lack native MCP implementations.
