HasMCP acts as a hosted gateway that converts existing REST APIs into Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling AI agents and IDEs to interact with external data without requiring manual backend development. By importing OpenAPI or Swagger specifications into the platform, users can instantly expose their endpoints as type-safe tools for environments like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT. The platform differentiates itself by focusing on the practical constraints of working with LLMs, particularly token management. Rather than passing raw, bloated API responses directly to an agent, it uses JavaScript-based interceptors and JMESPath filtering to prune payloads down to the essential information.
