AsyncAPI MCP Server

An MCP server for AsyncAPI: inspect specs (domain tools), validate, lint (Spectral), convert versions, generate models (Modelina), and run the AsyncAPI Generator from any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and others). Uses stdio by default—no port or API key for core features.

Tools

Most tools take the AsyncAPI document as source: inline YAML/JSON or an absolute path to a .yaml, .yml, or .json file. generate and convert_spec require additional parameters (template, targetDir, targetVersion, etc.); see those sections.

Domain inspection (split by concern)

Each tool parses once and returns only that slice (smaller responses than dumping a full document in one call).

Tool	Purpose
get_asyncapi_info	asyncapi version, defaultContentType, and full info (contact, license, tags, etc.)
list_asyncapi_servers	Servers, hosts, protocols, variables, binding summaries
list_asyncapi_channels	Channels, addresses, parameters, message ids, bindings
list_asyncapi_operations	Operations, actions, operationId, channel/message links
list_asyncapi_messages	Messages; default payload summary; optional payloadDetail: full + payloadMaxDepth; optional includeHeadersSummary
list_asyncapi_schemas	Compact index: schema id, type summary, one-line shape
get_asyncapi_schema	One component schema by id (the key under components.schemas), bounded depth
list_asyncapi_security_schemes	Security schemes (id plus the parser’s JSON for each scheme, e.g. nested OAuth flows when present)

Parameters: each domain tool requires source (string). get_asyncapi_schema also requires id; optional maxDepth (default 8). list_asyncapi_messages supports includeHeadersSummary, payloadDetail, payloadMaxDepth — see tool descriptions in your MCP client.

For validation diagnostics (severity, paths, codes), use validate_document below.

validate_document

Validate structure with the AsyncAPI parser; returns issues (severity, message, path, optional codes).

Parameters: source (string, required).

lint_spec

Lint with Spectral using built-in AsyncAPI rulesets unless you pass a custom ruleset.

Parameters: source (string, required); ruleset (string, optional)—path to a Spectral ruleset (may extend spectral:asyncapi).

convert_spec

Convert toward a target version (e.g. 2.x → 3.x). Downgrades are not supported.

Parameters: source (string, required); targetVersion (string, required, e.g. "3.0.0"); outputFormat (optional): preserve | yaml | json; options (object, optional)—passthrough for @asyncapi/converter.

generate_models

Generate typed payload models via @asyncapi/modelina.

Parameters: source (string, required); language (enum, required): java, typescript, csharp, go, javascript, dart, rust, python, kotlin, cpp, php, scala; options (object, optional)—Modelina options (indentation, processorOptions, etc.).

generate

Generate from a template with @asyncapi/generator. Output goes under targetDir.

Parameters: source (string, required); template (string, required)—built-in template id or npm package (e.g. @asyncapi/html-template); targetDir (string, required, absolute path; created if missing); templateParams (object, optional).

Prerequisites

• Node.js 24.11+ (see package.json → engines).

Installation

Published package

npm install -g asyncapi-mcp-server

On demand:

npx -y asyncapi-mcp-server

If npx cold-start times out your client, install globally once and point the client at the asyncapi-mcp-server binary.

From source

git clone https://github.com/Adi-204/asyncapi-mcp-server.git
cd asyncapi-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build

Use node /absolute/path/to/asyncapi-mcp-server/dist/index.js in MCP config.

Usage

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asyncapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asyncapi-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

For a local build, replace with "command": "node" and "args": ["/absolute/path/to/asyncapi-mcp-server/dist/index.js"].

Cursor

Settings → MCP: command npx, args -y, asyncapi-mcp-server (or node + path to dist/index.js for local dev).

VS Code

In User Settings JSON or .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "asyncapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asyncapi-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Build

Entrypoint: dist/index.js (ESM).

npm install
npm run build

Development

Inspector: npm run inspect. Clone setup, tests, layout: DEVELOPMENT.md. Contributions: CONTRIBUTING.md.
