StitchAPI Docs: MCP server, setup and security
StitchAPI Docs is an open-source MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent search StitchAPI documentation semantically and retrieve relevant sections with deep links. Its repository has 20 stars and its last commit is from October 22, 2026 and it is licensed under Apache-2.0.
What StitchAPI Docs does
According to its repository: “Semantic search over the StitchAPI documentation, returning relevant sections with deep links and full pages.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. StitchAPI Docs is listed under Web search and extraction, a category of 159 servers in the directory, where it ranks #90 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: api, npm-package, typescript.
Installing and connecting StitchAPI Docs
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx) - remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to StitchAPI Docs. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on August 16, 2024, the rejifald/StitchAPI repository has 20 stars and 0 forks, with 115 open issues. It has more stars than 38% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.1.0 (July 8, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
