Connecting to the MCP Server

Swytchcode’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server powers the intelligent layer of code generation, method discovery, and workflow orchestration. You can access it programmatically to interact with your API or SDK context via official tools or your own custom clients.

MCP Server Endpoint

MCP requests are served from:

https://api-v2.swytchcode.com/v2/mcp/mcp

Authentication

To connect, you must include a valid Bearer token (also called the MCP key) in the request header.
MCP keys can be retrieved from the Swytchcode web plugin interface
All MCP requests must include the following header:

Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_MCP_KEY>

⚠️ Note: MCP keys are usage-limited and tied to your Swytchcode plan. Most premium plans include access by default. If you need more keys or higher limits, please contact sales.

What the MCP Server Offers

The MCP server is organized into three powerful categories:

Type	Description
Resources	List of available libraries (OpenAPI, Postman, or SDKs)
Templated Resources	Detailed metadata on available methods and workflows per library
Tools	Utilities for code generation, spec introspection, and more

This structured context is what powers code generation, AI suggestions, and testing capabilities in the Swytchcode platform.

Connecting with an MCP Client

You can connect to the MCP server using any client that supports streaming HTTP with headers. Here are a couple of examples:

Using MCP Inspector

MCP Inspector is a CLI-based debug and inspection tool for MCP servers.

To connect:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Then configure it as follows:

Setting	Value
Proxy Session Token	Paste the session token shown in your terminal
Transport Type	Streamable HTTP
MCP URL	`https://api-v2.swytchcode.com/v2/mcp/mcp`
Authentication Header Name	`authorization`
Bearer Token	Your Swytchcode MCP key

Click Connect to browse and interact with Swytchcode’s MCP-powered Resources, Templates, and Tools.

Using the TypeScript Client

We maintain an official TypeScript MCP client for building integrations, automating workflows, or embedding MCP capabilities into your tools Explore here: https://github.com/Swytchcode/mcp-clients

Its a simple, reusable wrapper for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK client, making it easy to connect, list tools/resources, call tools, and read resources from any Node.js or TypeScript project.
