When does this happen?

IF You need to expose an existing REST API (with OpenAPI/Swagger spec) as an MCP server for AI site_1 like Claude or Cursor.

How others solved it

THEN Use APIFold to automatically generate a live MCP server endpoint from your API spec. The CLI tool `npx apifold serve` reads the spec and starts a server with SSE transport. Alternatively, use the hosted platform at apifold.dev for a managed solution. The @apifold/transformer library can be integrated programmatically.

`npx apifold serve ./openapi.yaml --base-url https://api.example.com`
