What you can do with this MCP connector
Listen, forget switching tabs or running complex CLI commands just to check an API doc. This MCP Server lets your AI client talk straight to your Stoplight workspace. It gives you hands-on access—you can design, document, and audit entire API lifecycles without ever leaving the chat window. You're gonna get full lifecycle visibility right where you work.
We structured this so you don't gotta know the underlying structure; you just ask for what you need, and your agent handles it. It keeps everything mapped securely to your Stoplight workspace, letting you run architectural reviews and pull documentation without losing context.
Organizational Oversight
You can start by mapping out the whole house. To see every top-level organizational container in your account, just call list_workspaces. For a broader view of everything available, list_projects shows all API documentation repositories housed within your workspace. You can track down who's been doing what with list_workspace_activity, which gathers and displays recent updates across the whole workspace.
To check team ownership, run list_workspace_members; this lists every person associated with your current API workspace and maps out their specific roles.
Project Deep Dives
When you zero in on a specific area, the tools help you drill down fast. If you want to know what's inside an API project—every file, endpoint, or model it contains—you use list_project_nodes. Need the full backstory on one particular repository? Call get_project_details to retrieve detailed metadata about a named Stoplight API project.
For the absolute nitty-gritty of any given documentation node, get_node_details pulls the complete, raw OpenAPI schema text you need for auditing or comparison.
What You Can Actually Do
Your AI client uses these tools to manage three key areas: Workspaces, Projects, and Schema Details. It can show all accessible organizational containers using list_workspaces, while also letting you monitor recent activity across them via list_workspace_activity. When you're working on a project, your agent runs list_projects to survey the available API documentation repositories.
You can then get deep visibility into a specific repo's metadata with get_project_details, and enumerate every component—files, endpoints, models—inside that project by calling list_project_nodes. If you need raw data for a schema comparison or audit, use get_node_details to pull the full OpenAPI text. Finally, if you gotta know who's responsible for what, your agent runs list_workspace_members to list all team members and their roles.
How Stoplight MCP Works
- 1 Install the Stoplight MCP module and authenticate it using your organization's API slug and token.
- 2 Prompt your AI agent with a complex request, like: "List all projects in 'core-billing-api' and show me the members."
- 3 The agent runs
list_projectsfollowed bylist_workspace_members, compiling all data into one response.
The bottom line is you get a single, consolidated report from your API documentation system without ever opening a dashboard.
Who Is Stoplight MCP For?
API Architects and Engineering Leads. You're the person who spends hours jumping between Swagger UI, Jira tickets, and documentation dashboards just to validate one endpoint change. This server cuts that time down to seconds by letting your agent run multi-step audits right in the chat.
Uses list_workspaces and get_project_details to map out dependencies across dozens of independent API projects quickly.
Runs list_workspace_activity to summarize what changed in the last week, ensuring documentation is current for release notes.
Uses get_node_details and list_project_nodes to pull exact schema definitions needed for local integration testing or client handoffs.
What Changes When You Connect
- Schema Deep Dive: Instead of clicking through nested folders to find a model definition, use
get_node_detailsto pull the raw OpenAPI schema text for any endpoint instantly. It's immediate access to the actual code structure. - Cross-Project Auditing: Need to know what APIs exist across your company? Run
list_projectsto list every repository in one go, then useget_project_detailsto audit their specific metadata without navigating a single dashboard tab. - Compliance & Governance: Track who has access and ownership. Use
list_workspace_membersto see all contributors immediately, or runlist_project_nodesto ensure every critical API component is cataloged. - Activity Tracking: Stop guessing what changed last week. Run
list_workspace_activityto get a chronological log of who updated which endpoint and when. It’s your single source of truth for change management. - Contextual Discovery: The server lets you combine tools—run
list_projectsfirst, then pass the resulting project name intoget_project_details. This multi-step query capability is what saves hours of manual clicking.
Real-World Use Cases
The Onboarding Architect
A new architect needs a full map of the company's API surface. Instead of asking for access to 20 different dashboards, they prompt the agent: "What are all our active projects and who owns them?" The agent runs list_projects then loops through results calling get_project_details and list_workspace_members, giving a full governance report in minutes.
The QA Engineer
A QA engineer needs to validate a payment endpoint. They ask the agent to list all nodes for the 'Payment V2' project (list_project_nodes), then specifically request the schema definition for the transaction node using get_node_details. They get the raw JSON payload and can paste it directly into their validation script.
The Technical Writer
A writer needs to update the public-facing API docs. Instead of manually reviewing Git commits, they run list_workspace_activity to see all recent changes in the 'core-billing' project. They then use this log to create a precise release note.
The Project Manager
A PM needs an immediate status update on team capacity. They ask: "Who are all the active members and what projects are they mapped to?" The agent runs list_workspace_members and cross-references the output, giving a clear view of resource allocation.
The Tradeoffs
Trying to guess schemas
You just remember 'the billing API' but don't know its exact name. You waste time opening 5 different project dashboards, hoping one has the right schema visible.
→
First, run list_projects to get all names. Then use that precise name in a query like: "List nodes for 'core-billing-api' and give me node details for the processing endpoint." This guarantees you hit the target.
Missing team context
You find a critical API endpoint but have no idea which team owns it or who to talk to about deprecating it.
→
Always follow up with list_workspace_members. This tool shows every person associated with the current workspace, giving you immediate ownership and contact roles.
Overlooking recent changes
You assume a key endpoint is stable because it hasn't broken today. You miss a critical security parameter change that happened three days ago.
→
Run list_workspace_activity. This tool provides a historical log of who made what changes, letting you confirm the last time the endpoint was touched.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your job requires constant context switching between API schemas, project inventories, and team roles. You need to audit or document APIs without leaving your chat client.
Don't use it if you are only looking for general company information (e.g., HR policies) or if the required data is not stored within Stoplight. If all you need is a simple list of files, list_project_nodes is enough. If you need to track history, run list_workspace_activity. Using multiple tools in sequence is where this server shines; it connects the dots between what exists (list_projects) and what the structure looks like (get_node_details).

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 7 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
API documentation shouldn't require you to jump through three different dashboards.
Today, validating an API design is a nightmare of context switching. You start in your chat client, realize you need the schema for Project A, so you open Dashboard 1. Then you check the team ownership in Dashboard 2. Finally, you have to switch back and copy-paste details into your report. It takes ten minutes and three tabs.
With the Stoplight MCP Server, that process collapses. You ask the agent: "Show me Project A's schema and who owns it." The server runs `get_node_details` and `list_workspace_members`, returning a single, clean summary in your chat window. It’s immediate.
Stoplight MCP Server: Manage API Schemas & Projects
The manual process of collecting project names and then running separate searches for each one is time-consuming and error-prone. You lose context, you miss dependencies, and your report ends up looking like a patchwork of disconnected screenshots.
Now, ask the agent to run `list_projects` first. This gives you a full list, which you can then feed into other tools for comprehensive analysis—all in one flow. It's a fully orchestrated audit.
Common Questions About Stoplight MCP
How do I find all available API projects using the Stoplight MCP Server? +
Run list_projects. This tool immediately shows every single documentation repository that exists in your workspace, giving you a complete inventory of what's available to audit.
What is the best way to check recent changes using list_workspace_activity? +
Use list_workspace_activity. It provides a chronological log of updates across all projects. This lets you quickly see who updated which endpoint and when, making change tracking simple.
Can I get the raw OpenAPI schema definition using get_node_details? +
Yes, get_node_details pulls the full, raw text of the schema for a specific node. This is perfect if you need to copy the JSON payload directly into another system or script.
How do I see all team members associated with my APIs? +
Call list_workspace_members. It lists every person in your workspace, along with their specific roles (Admin, Editor, Viewer), which is critical for governance reviews.
How does `list_workspaces` help me understand my top-level API scope? +
It lists all accessible organizational containers. This view shows you the highest level of grouping for your APIs, allowing you to navigate between major product lines or departments before drilling down into specific projects.
What kind of metadata do I get when using `get_project_details`? +
You retrieve full visibility details about a project. This includes key information like the last time it was updated, its owner, and any high-level descriptions that define its scope.
Does `list_project_nodes` show me every file, endpoint, and model in a project? +
Yes. This tool provides a comprehensive catalog of documentation nodes within a given project. It maps out everything—from raw files to specific endpoints and data models—so you can see the full architecture.
What is the difference between `list_projects` and `list_workspaces`? +
Workspaces are your top-level organizational boundaries. Projects, by contrast, live inside those workspaces; list_projects pulls out all contained API documentation repositories.
Is the integration read-only? +
Yes. All tools only read from your Stoplight workspace — projects, nodes, schemas, and activity logs. No modifications or deletions are possible through this integration.
What is the workspace slug? +
It's the subdomain of your Stoplight URL. For example, if your workspace is at https://acme.stoplight.io, the slug is acme. You can find it in the address bar when logged in.
What data can the agent access? +
Projects, workspace members, activity logs, and all project nodes (endpoints, models, articles). Each node's full content — including OpenAPI schemas — can be retrieved via get_node_details.
