Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Universal OpenAPI ➜ MCP relay server with enterprise authentication.

npm version npm downloads

What is Relay?

Relay converts any OpenAPI/Swagger specification into AI-callable MCP tools. It acts as a bridge between AI assistants and REST APIs, automatically generating tools from API documentation and executing real HTTP requests.

Main Function: Transform any REST API into MCP tools that AI assistants can use directly.

Installation

npm install relay-mcp

Basic Usage

  1. Install and build:
npm install
npm run build
  1. Configure (create .env file):
SWAGGER_SOURCE=url
SWAGGER_URL=https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
AUTH_TYPE=none
  1. Run the server:
npm start
  1. Add to MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop for stdio):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "relay": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/relay/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SWAGGER_SOURCE": "url",
        "SWAGGER_URL": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
        "AUTH_TYPE": "none",
        "TRANSPORT": "stdio"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run as a standalone server with SSE/HTTP:

# For SSE transport
TRANSPORT=sse TRANSPORT_PORT=3000 npm start

# For HTTP transport
TRANSPORT=http TRANSPORT_PORT=3000 npm start

Then configure your MCP client to connect to http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Features

  • Dynamic tool generation from any OpenAPI/Swagger spec
  • Real HTTP execution with interceptors and structured logging
  • Auth: API Key (header/query), Bearer, Basic
  • OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.x support
  • Multiple transport modes: stdio, SSE (Server-Sent Events), HTTP
