Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that exposes Star Wars API (SWAPI) data, letting an assistant list data categories and look up character information.

What you can do
List the available Star Wars information categories from SWAPI, such as people, planets, films, species, vehicles and starships, as a comma-separated list. Retrieve Star Wars character information through the project's character tool. Data is fetched from the public Star Wars API over stdio transport.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about Star Wars characters or to discover which SWAPI data categories exist, for demos, testing or casual exploration rather than production data work.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package over stdio. Needs Node.js 20 or newer and npm; the README's client configuration runs it with npm start from the project directory. Network access to the Star Wars API is implied. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
Only two tools are documented, and the character tool's exact output is not specified. Data comes from the third-party public Star Wars API, so availability and accuracy depend on that service. The README's client configuration assumes the repository is cloned and dependencies installed locally.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Swapi Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

SWAPI MCP

A TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Star Wars API data as MCP tools.

This project connects to the Star Wars API (SWAPI) and makes selected Star Wars information available through MCP-compatible clients using stdio transport.

Features

  • MCP server built with TypeScript
  • stdio-based MCP transport
  • Fetches Star Wars data from SWAPI
  • Tool schema validation with Zod
  • Includes Vitest test setup
  • Supports coverage reports

Tech Stack

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • Model Context Protocol SDK
  • Zod
  • Vitest
  • tsx

Project Structure

Requirements

  • Node.js 20 or newer
  • npm

Some MCP-related dependencies require Node.js 20+, so using the latest LTS version is recommended.

Installation

npm install

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

Available Scripts

Start the development server

npm run start

Runs the MCP server directly from TypeScript using tsx.

Build the project

npm run build

Compiles TypeScript into JavaScript using the TypeScript compiler.

Run tests

npm run test

When started, the server connects using stdio and can be used by MCP-compatible clients.

Available Tools

get-list-of-star-wars-information

Returns a comma-separated list of available Star Wars information categories from SWAPI, such as:

  • people
  • planets
  • films
  • species
  • vehicles
  • starships

get-information-of-star-wars-characters

Returns Star Wars character information exposed by the project’s character tool.

Example MCP Client Configuration

You can configure an MCP-compatible client to run this server with npm:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "swapi-mcp": { "command": "npm", "args": ["start"] } } }

If your client requires an absolute working directory, configure it like this:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "swapi-mcp": { "command": "npm", "args": ["start"], "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/swapi-mcp" } } }

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
