Query Apidog endpoints using Claude Code

Claude Code is built for the terminal. If you need to quickly check an API path, tell the CLI to list your endpoints. It runs `list_endpoints` and prints the clean list directly to stdout. You do not need to click through a web UI. Claude Code runs `get_endpoint` to check query parameters or request headers, letting you stay focused on your terminal session.

Automate OpenAPI exports in CI pipelines

Running headless tasks is where this setup shines. You can run Claude Code in a script to pull down your specs using `export_openapi` from your Apidog workspace. Claude Code pipes that JSON output into your local code generator, lint tools, or testing frameworks. It makes specs dynamic instead of relying on stale, committed files.

Inspect remote DTOs from the command line

When debugging a failing curl request, ask this MCP Server to inspect the expected payload. It invokes `list_schemas` to find the exact data model defined in Apidog. It prints the schema differences right in your terminal. You can instantly see if your request body is missing a required field without opening any browser tabs.
