+ # swapi.build+ > Free, read-only Star Wars API (a SWAPI alternative) with a REST JSON interface and a+ > remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Data covers the six films of Episodes I-VI:+ > people, films, planets, species, starships and vehicles. No API key, no sign-up.+ - Connect: `claude mcp add --transport http swapi-build https://swapi.build/mcp`; any other MCP client:+   Streamable HTTP URL `https://swapi.build/mcp`, no auth. Tools: sw_search, sw_get, sw_list, sw_random;+   sw_get takes an optional `expand` (related records in the same call, e.g. ["homeworld"]),+   sw_list and sw_search an optional `fields` (e.g. ["name"] for a compact index).+ - MCP resources: `swapi://people` (index) and `swapi://people/1` (one record), the same for+   films, planets, species, starships and vehicles. MCP prompt: `character_profile` (a name).+ - REST: `https://swapi.build/api/{resource}`, `https://swapi.build/api/{resource}/{id}`, `https://swapi.build/api/{resource}/random`+   and `https://swapi.build/api/{resource}?search={text}`; resources: people, films, planets, species,+   starships, vehicles.+ - Lists and searches return a plain JSON array of entities (no count/next/results+   pagination, unlike swapi.dev).+ - Ids are record ids, not episode numbers: `https://swapi.build/api/films/1` is A New Hope (Episode IV).+ - Successful GETs return 200 with JSON; an unknown id returns 404.+ - Relations (homeworld, films, characters...) are absolute URLs on the same API.+ - Every page whose content the server draws is also plain Markdown at the same URL plus `.md`+   (the home is `https://swapi.build/index.html.md`); everything in one file: `https://swapi.build/llms-full.txt`.+ ## Docs+ - [OpenAPI contract](https://swapi.build/openapi.json): machine-readable, always matches the deployed version+ - [REST documentation](https://swapi.build/docs.md): endpoints with live examples+ - [MCP server guide](https://swapi.build/docs/mcp.md): setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot and IBM Bob+ - [WebMCP guide](https://swapi.build/docs/webmcp): experimental browser tools+ - [FAQ and comparison](https://swapi.build/faq.md): free, no key, data scope, and a dated comparison with other Star Wars APIs+ ## Examples+ - [Luke Skywalker](https://swapi.build/api/people/1)+ - [A New Hope](https://swapi.build/api/films/1)+ - [Search people by name](https://swapi.build/api/people?search=sky)+ ## Optional+ - [About](https://swapi.build/about.md)+ - [Usage stats](https://swapi.build/stats), also as JSON at https://swapi.build/api/stats+ - [Source code](https://github.com/eldermoraes/swapi.build) (Apache 2.0)
