For more context, this tool can generate an MCP Server from an OpenAPI/Swagger file that describes a REST API. This does not include SOAP APIs, GraphQL, or other APIs that use the HTTP protocol.
- imtringued 2y agoNobody on this planet builds REST APIs. It's not worth explaining what REST actually means. It is a waste of time. HTTP API is the correct phrase.
- andybak 2y agoThat's why I tend to say "REST-ish" because there is a difference between those and things like GraphQL or RPC style APIs which can also use HTTP.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoHTTP APIs are APIs that rely on HTTP semantics (so not GraphQL). And the only difference between what you call "REST-ish" and "RPC-style" is "POST /messages" vs "POST /createMessage" anyway.
