When openapi-mcp-server encounters a problem that Claude does not recognize, you can follow the steps below to troubleshoot and resolve it:
- Verify the configuration path: Ensure that the paths to the OpenAPI files specified in the Claude configuration file are correct, in particular that relative and absolute paths are used consistently
- Check the OpenAPI specification: Use online tools such as https://editor.swagger.io验证OpenAPI文件是否符合v3.1标准规范
- Checking server status: To confirm that openapi-mcp-server has been successfully started and is running, you can try to run the test directly from the command line
npx openapi-mcp-server examples/petstore-openapi.json - Restart Claude Desktop: A full restart of the Claude Desktop application is required after changing the configuration for the changes to take effect
- Viewing Log Messages: Check for error messages in the command line window or log files, paying special attention to API conversion and loading related messages
- Test Simple Example: First use the Petstore API example that comes with the project to confirm that the underlying functionality is working, and to narrow down the scope of the problem
If the issue is still not resolved, you can refer to the issues section of the GitHub repository or submit a new issue for community help. Also make sure you are using the latest version of openapi-mcp-server.
