## Setup

## Setup

Ensure that **Node.js v18+** is installed.

### Clone the Repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/apimatic/apimatic-validator-mcp.git
cd apimatic-validator-mcp
```

### Install Dependencies
```sh
npm install
```

### Build the Project
```sh
npm run build
```

To use the server, an APIMatic API key is required; sign up at [APIMatic](https://www.apimatic.io/) and obtain the API key.

### Integration with Claude Desktop

Modify the `claude_desktop_config.json` file to integrate the MCP server; if the file does not exist, create one in the specified location for Windows or macOS/Linux.

#### Windows
```sh
code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
```

#### macOS/Linux
```sh
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```

### Add the MCP Server to the Configuration
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "APIMatic": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\build\\index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "APIMATIC_API_KEY": "<Add your APIMatic token here>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Once configured, a hammer icon should appear in Claude Desktop; open it to verify that the `validate-openapi-using-apimatic` tool is successfully integrated.
