# SWAPI MCP
A TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Star Wars API data as MCP tools.
This project connects to the Star Wars API (SWAPI) and makes selected Star Wars information available through
MCP-compatible clients using stdio transport.
## Features
- MCP server built with TypeScript
- stdio-based MCP transport
- Fetches Star Wars data from SWAPI
- Tool schema validation with Zod
- Includes Vitest test setup
- Supports coverage reports
## Tech Stack
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- Model Context Protocol SDK
- Zod
- Vitest
- tsx

## Requirements
- Node.js 20 or newer
- npm
Some MCP-related dependencies require Node.js 20+, so using the latest LTS version is recommended.
## Installation
`npm install`
Clone the repository and install dependencies:
## Available Scripts
### Start the development server
`npm run start`
Runs the MCP server directly from TypeScript using `tsx`.
### Build the project
`npm run build`
Compiles TypeScript into JavaScript using the TypeScript compiler.
### Run tests
`npm run test`
When started, the server connects using stdio and can be used by MCP-compatible clients.
## Available Tools
### `get-list-of-star-wars-information`
Returns a comma-separated list of available Star Wars information categories from SWAPI, such as:
- people
- planets
- films
- species
- vehicles
- starships
### `get-information-of-star-wars-characters`
Returns Star Wars character information exposed by the project’s character tool.
## Example MCP Client Configuration
You can configure an MCP-compatible client to run this server with npm:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "swapi-mcp": { "command": "npm", "args": ["start"] } } }
```
If your client requires an absolute working directory, configure it like this:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "swapi-mcp": { "command": "npm", "args": ["start"], "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/swapi-mcp" } } }
```
