readme

Apifox MCP Server

使用 Apifox MCP Server,可以将 Apifox 项目内的接口文档作为数据源提供给 Cursor 等支持 AI 编程的 IDE 工具以便让 AI 能够直接访问项目对应的接口文档数据。

开发者可以通过 AI 助手完成以下工作:根据接口文档生成或修改代码、搜索接口文档内容等等,至于通过这个接口文档数据能让 AI 干什么更多更强大的活,请发挥你和你们团队的想象力😜

🎯 如何使用

安装配置好 MCP 后,Apifox MCP Server 会自动读取 Apifox 整个项目里的所有接口文档的数据并缓存在本地电脑,AI 可以通过 MCP 读取项目内所有的接口的接口文档数据。

你只要告诉 AI 你想要通过 API 文档做什么即可,示例:

  1. “通过 MCP 获取 API 文档,然后生成 Product 及其相关模型的定义代码”
  2. “根据 API 文档,在 Product DTO 里添加 API 文档新增的几个字段”
  3. “根据 API 文档给 Product 类的每个字段都加上注释”
  4. “根据 API 文档,生成接口 /users 相关的所有 MVC 代码”

注意:接口文档数据默认是会缓存在本地的,如果 Apifox 内的数据有更新,请告诉 AI 刷新接口文档数据,否则 AI 读到的数据可能不是最新的。

🚀 安装方法

前置条件

  • 已安装 Node.js 环境(版本号 >= 18,推荐最新的 LTS 版本)
  • 任意一个支持 MCP 的 IDE:
    • Cursor
    • VSCode + Cline 插件

安装

  1. 在 Apifox 生成 Access Token a. 打开 Apifox,将鼠标悬停在页面右上角的头像上,点击 “账号设置 -> API 访问令牌” b. 创建新的 API 访问令牌,详见帮助文档 c. 拿到 API 访问令牌,替换下面配置文件中的 <access-token>
  2. 获取 Apifox 项目 ID a. 打开 Apifox 里对应的项目 b. 在左侧边栏点击“项目设置”,在“基本设置”页面即可复制项目 ID c. 拿到项目 ID,替换下面配置文件中的 <project-id>
  3. 配置 IDE

将下面 JSON 配置添加到 IDE 对应的 MCP 配置文件里:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "API 文档": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "apifox-mcp-server@latest",
        "--project-id=<project-id>"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFOX_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<access-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

如果使用 Windows 操作系统,而上文的配置文件无法正常工作,请使用如下配置文件:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "API 文档": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "apifox-mcp-server@latest",
        "--project-id=<project-id>"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFOX_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<access-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Cursor:添加到全局的 ~/.cursor/mcp.json 或项目内的 .cursor/mcp.json
  • Cline:打开 Cline 面板 > MCP Server > Configure MCP Server

注意:

  1. 请将上面的 <access-token><project-id> 替换为你个人的 Apifox API 访问令牌和 Apifox 项目 ID。
  2. 配置文件里 MCP Server 名字建议填写类似“API 文档”或“xxx API 文档”这样的包含“API文档”字眼的名称,这样 AI 更容易正确的识别这个 MCP Server 的用途。不建议填写“Apifox”或“Apifox MCP”,这种写法 AI 不容易识别用途。
  3. 如果需要使用到多个项目的 API 文档,在配置文件里添加配置多个 MCP Server 即可(不同项目有不同的<project-id>), MCP Server 的名字填写“xxx API 文档”。
  4. 如果团队习惯将 MCP 配置文件同步到代码仓库里,建议删除配置里的"APIFOX_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<access-token>",改成每个成员在自己电脑里配置名为 APIFOX_ACCESS_TOKEN 的环境变量,以避免 APIFOX_ACCESS_TOKEN 泄漏问题。
  5. 使用私有化部署版本的用户,请在 IDE 的 MCP 的配置文件添加参数:"--apifox-api-base-url=<私有化部署服务器的 API 地址,以 http:// 或 https:// 开头>"。另外,请确保网络可以正常访问 www.npm.com
  6. 除了 Apifox 项目之外,也支持直接读取 Swagger/OAS 文件,请删除 "--project-id=<project-id>" 参数,添加 "--oas=<oas-url-or-path>" 参数。如:npx apifox-mcp-server --oas https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.jsonnpx apifox-mcp-server --oas ~/data/petstore/swagger.json

FAQ

What is the Apifox MCP Server MCP server?
Apifox MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for Apifox MCP Server?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
