Verdict

Pick OpenAPI MCP Server if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install.

Pick Repomix MCP Server if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add OpenAPI MCP Server

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openapi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://openapi-mcp.openapisearch.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Add Repomix MCP Server

Install / run

npx -y repomix --mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "repomix",
        "--mcp"
