What is the Stoplight MCP Server?
Integrate the industry-leading API design and documentation capabilities of Stoplight into your conversational AI workflows. Empower your engineering teams to explore workspaces, evaluate OpenAPI schemas, and audit API projects natively from their conversational assistant. Securely map your AI to your Stoplight workspace, enabling the orchestration of complex documentation tasks, project navigation, and architectural reviews naturally without switching contexts or opening complex dashboards.
What you can do
- Workspace Exploration — Rapidly inspect top-level organizational containers invoking
list_workspaces, and track operational changes programmatically leveraginglist_workspace_activity. - Project Management — Audit your API documentation repositories cataloging initiatives securely using
list_projects, and retrieve full visibility metadata invokingget_project_details. - Schema & Documentation Discovery — Dive deeply into specific documentation structures retrieving files, endpoints, and models leveraging
list_project_nodes, and parse their raw text safely utilizingget_node_details. - Team & Governance — Map project ownership accurately and enforce governance metrics iteratively assigning roles retrieving authorized contributors naturally via
list_workspace_members.
How it works
- Install the Stoplight MCP module securely authenticating it to your organizational AI interface.
- In the MCP configurations, provide your
STOPLIGHT_WORKSPACEslug and a validSTOPLIGHT_TOKENgenerated directly from your Stoplight workspace settings. - Prompt the AI: "List the latest active endpoints from our 'core-billing-api' project and retrieve the detailed schema documentation for the processing node."
Who is this for?
- API Architects — Accelerate API design reviews by instantly accessing endpoints and OpenAPI models naturally via your terminal without leaving your coding environment.
- Technical Writers — Discover and organize large scale API documentation landscapes rapidly summarizing updates directly from recent workspace activity logs.
- Backend Engineers — Resolve integration dependencies efficiently by querying endpoint models across independent Stoplight projects precisely and securely.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
