What is the Apidog MCP Server?
Connect your Apidog account to your AI agent and seamlessly access your API specifications, data models, and documentation through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Discover Projects & Endpoints — Browse your active projects and list all HTTP routes without opening the Apidog client
- Inspect Endpoint Schemas — Fetch the complete anatomy of any route, including its HTTP method, dynamic path params, headers, and request/response body schemas
- Understand Data Models — Query active reusable schemas (DTOs, entities) defined throughout your API
- Export OpenAPI Specs — Extract the complete OpenAPI 3.0 JSON specification from your team’s project to give your AI maximum context for testing or code generation
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Personal Apidog API Access Token
- Interface with your API contracts using Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible environment
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — quickly review endpoints or export a full OpenAPI spec so the LLM can safely scaffold controllers or unit tests
- Frontend Engineers — ask the AI to inspect an Apidog endpoint schema and generate the corresponding TypeScript interfaces or API service layers
- QA Automation Teams — fetch expected response payloads automatically to construct robust integration tests
Built-in capabilities (5)
Export the full OpenAPI 3.0 specification of an Apidog project as JSON
Fetch the complete schema of a single API endpoint
List all API endpoints defined within a specific Apidog project
List all API projects in the connected Apidog organization
List all data model schemas (DTOs, entities) defined in an Apidog project
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Apidog into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Apidog and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I import a complete OpenAPI spec into an AI chat session?
Yes. Instruct the agent to run the export_openapi tool. It downloads the JSON metadata and safely passes it into your context. Given its size, the agent can use this massive reference guide to rapidly write tests, endpoints, or data models perfectly mimicking your production systems.
How can I check the payload requirements for a single specific route?
If you know the general area of the project, use list_endpoints to verify the ID. Then query get_endpoint. It brings back the specific HTTP verbs, query arguments, path definitions, and expected JSON body — letting your agent craft exact functional requests to external systems.
Will my Apidog tokens expire?
When generating your Personal Access Token in Apidog, you dictate the validity duration (e.g. 30 days, 1 year or never expire). If you choose a finite span, you will need to come back, generate a new token and insert it once more to reconnect the MCP server successfully.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
