Claude Desktop AnyAPI list_apis

How to: Claude Desktop AnyAPI list_apis

client:Claude Desktop transport:streamable-http tool:list_apis

Add AnyAPI to Claude Desktop

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anyapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

  2. 03

    Ask for something list_apis does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls list_apis itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that AnyAPI's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs

Set these first

AnyAPI will not start until these are set, so list_apis never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
