Description

This MCP server acts as a bridge that wraps REST APIs into MCP-compatible tools, enabling AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to interact with APIs through typed, validated calls without prompt engineering. It provides a production-quality starter kit using JSONPlaceholder as a demo and a clear pattern to adapt any REST API by swapping the client and models. Benefits include input validation with Pydantic, dual response formats (markdown and JSON), and seamless integration with Claude Desktop.
