JitAPI

Point Claude at any API. JitAPI figures out which endpoints to call and in what order — automatically.

JitAPI is an MCP server that lets Claude interact with any API from its OpenAPI spec. Instead of dumping hundreds of endpoints into context, JitAPI uses semantic search and a dependency graph to surface only what's needed — then Claude plans and executes the calls.

The Problem

Stripe has 300+ endpoints. GitHub has 800+. Loading the full spec into Claude's context wastes tokens and causes hallucinations. Writing a custom MCP server for every API you use doesn't scale.

JitAPI solves this: register any OpenAPI spec once, then ask for what you need in plain English. It finds the right endpoints, resolves dependencies between them, and lets Claude execute the calls.

Quick Start

pip install jitapi

Add to your Claude Code config (.mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jitapi": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["jitapi"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. No API keys required — JitAPI uses local embeddings out of the box.

Then in Claude:

You: Register the GitHub API from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/rest-api-description/main/descriptions/api.github.com/api.github.com.json

Claude: ✓ Registered GitHub v3 REST API — 1,107 endpoints indexed

You: List my repos

Claude: [searches for "list repositories for authenticated user" → finds GET /user/repos → executes]
Here are your repositories: ...

Multi-API Orchestration

The killer feature: register multiple APIs and ask questions that span them. JitAPI searches across all registered APIs and Claude chains the calls.

You: Register the TMDB API and OpenWeatherMap API
Claude: ✓ Registered both APIs

You: Find the top popular movie on TMDB, then get the weather where it was filmed

Claude: [searches TMDB → GET /movie/popular → GET /movie/{id} for production locations
         → searches OpenWeather → GET /data/2.5/weather with the city]

The #1 popular movie is "Inception", filmed in Los Angeles.
Current weather in LA: 72°F, partly cloudy.

Store in vector DB               Return schemas → Claude executes

1. Register — Parse an OpenAPI spec, build a dependency graph (which endpoints need data from which other endpoints), and create searchable embeddings for all endpoints
2. Search — When you ask a question, JitAPI embeds your query and finds the most relevant endpoints via cosine similarity
3. Expand — The dependency graph adds any prerequisite endpoints (e.g., "you need to call GET /users first to get the user_id for POST /orders")
4. Execute — Claude gets the endpoint schemas and makes the API calls, passing data between steps
