Perplexity

Manage your Apidog projects in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your chat window. Use `list_projects` to see everything you have in your organization right from the Claude Desktop interface. Once you pick a project, `list_endpoints` gives you a clean view of every route available. You get the actual data, not a guess.

Pull exact endpoint definitions

Getting the right structure for your requests matters. With `get_endpoint`, you pass the ID to your agent and it pulls back the schema you need to build your integration. This MCP Server handles the mapping so your AI client understands exactly what fields are required. No more manual copying from the web portal.

Export OpenAPI specs for your team

Need to share your work? Run `export_openapi` to generate a full JSON spec for any project you have in Apidog. Your Claude Desktop agent formats the output immediately. You can drop that file into your repo or send it to a colleague without leaving the conversation.
