 # anyapi-mcp-server
 
-A universal [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects **any REST API** to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other LLM-powered tools — just point it at an OpenAPI spec or Postman collection.
+### If it has an API, you can MCP it.
 
-Instead of building a custom MCP server for every API, `anyapi-mcp-server` reads your spec file and dynamically creates tools with **GraphQL-style field selection** and automatic schema inference.
+<img src="public/datadog.gif" alt="anyapi-mcp-server demo — Datadog API" width="1200" />
+
+Traditional MCP servers hand-pick a handful of endpoints and call it a day — locking you into whatever subset someone decided was "enough." Why settle for a fraction of an API when you can have **all of it**?
+
+`anyapi-mcp-server` is a universal [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that connects **any REST API** to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other LLM-powered tools — just point it at an OpenAPI spec or Postman collection. Every endpoint the API provides becomes available instantly, with **GraphQL-style field selection** and automatic schema inference. No custom server code, no artificial limits.
+
+Works with services like **Datadog**, **PostHog**, **Metabase**, **Cloudflare**, **Stripe**, **GitHub**, **Slack**, **Twilio**, **Shopify**, **HubSpot**, and anything else with a REST API — if it has an API, it just works.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Works with any REST API** — provide an OpenAPI (JSON/YAML) or Postman Collection v2.x spec
+- **Works with any REST API** — provide an OpenAPI (JSON/YAML) or Postman Collection v2.x spec as a local file or HTTPS URL
+- **Remote spec caching** — HTTPS spec URLs are fetched once and cached locally in ``~/.cache/anyapi-mcp/` (Linux/macOS) or `%LOCALAPPDATA%\anyapi-mcp\` (Windows)`
 - **GraphQL-style queries** — select only the fields you need from API responses
 - **Automatic schema inference** — calls an endpoint once, infers the response schema, then lets you query specific fields
 - **Multi-sample merging** — samples up to 10 array elements to build richer schemas that capture fields missing from individual items

+1. The spec is loaded at startup (from a local file or fetched from an HTTPS URL with filesystem caching) and parsed into an endpoint index with tags, paths, parameters, and request body schemas
 2. `call_api` makes a real HTTP request, infers a GraphQL schema from the JSON response, and caches both the response (30s TTL) and the schema
 3. `query_api` re-uses the cached response if called within 30s, executes your GraphQL field selection against the data, and returns only the fields you asked for
 4. Write operations (POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH) with OpenAPI request body schemas get a Mutation type with typed `GraphQLInputObjectType` inputs
