feat(swagger): add automatic MCP tool generation from Swagger/OpenAPI…

[kargnas]

… specs

• Add command to generate MCP tools from Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0 specifications
• Support both local files and remote URLs as input sources
• Parse endpoints and generate tool classes with HTTP client implementation
• Handle authentication (Bearer tokens, API keys)
• Auto-register generated tools in configuration
• Include comprehensive test fixtures for Swagger/OpenAPI formats
• Document new command with usage examples in README

This enables rapid integration of external APIs by automatically converting their Swagger/OpenAPI documentation into functional MCP tools.

Code Review Complete ✅

I've thoroughly reviewed the PR that adds automatic MCP tool and resource generation from Swagger/OpenAPI specifications. This is a significant and well-implemented feature that dramatically simplifies API integration. Here's my comprehensive analysis:

Todo List

• Read and analyze all changed files
• Review code quality and best practices
• Check for security vulnerabilities
• Assess performance considerations
• Evaluate test coverage
• Provide comprehensive feedback

🔍 Overall Assessment

This is an excellent feature implementation that adds substantial value to the Laravel MCP Server package. The automatic generation of MCP tools and resources from Swagger/OpenAPI specs will save developers significant time when integrating external APIs.

Key Strengths:

• Clean, well-structured architecture
• Comprehensive format support (OpenAPI 3.x and Swagger 2.0)
• Dual generation modes (Tools and Resources)
• Smart naming with hash detection
• Interactive CLI experience
• Good error handling and validation
• Extensive test coverage

---

🚀 New Features Implemented

Primary Command: MakeSwaggerMcpToolCommand

• Interactive endpoint selection with grouping options (tag, path, individual)
• Smart defaults for non-interactive mode
• API connection testing before generation
• Dual generation modes: Tools vs Resources
• Authentication configuration support
• Progress tracking with detailed feedback

Core Parser: SwaggerParser

• Handles both OpenAPI 3.x and Swagger 2.0 specifications
• Supports URL and file sources
• Comprehensive endpoint extraction with parameters, request bodies, and responses
• Security scheme parsing
• Reference resolution for $ref elements

Converter: SwaggerToMcpConverter

• Generates both tools and resources from endpoints
• Smart class naming with hash detection
• Authentication logic generation
• HTTP client integration with retry logic
• Input validation and error handling

Enhanced Make Commands

• Added programmatic generation support to existing commands
• Automatic registration in configuration
• Dynamic stub templating system

---

✅ Code Quality Highlights

Excellent Architecture

• Clear separation of concerns between parsing, conversion, and generation
• Consistent use of Laravel conventions
• Proper dependency injection and service instantiation
• Well-organized command structure

Smart Naming Logic

The hash detection feature (SwaggerToMcpConverter:57-58) is particularly clever:

$useOperationId = !empty($endpoint['operationId']) 
    && !preg_match('/^[a-f0-9]{32}$/i', $endpoint['operationId']);

Comprehensive Test Coverage

• Unit tests for core parsing functionality
• Naming conversion test coverage
• Resource generation tests
• Real-world test fixtures

Good User Experience

• Interactive prompts with smart defaults
• Progress indicators and detailed feedback
• Helpful error messages and guidance
• Automatic configuration updates

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

1. Security Considerations (Medium Priority)

URL Validation Issue in SwaggerParser:25:

if (Str::startsWith($source, ['http://', 'https://'])) {

Recommendation: Add more restrictive URL validation to prevent SSRF:

if (filter_var($source, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) && 
    in_array(parse_url($source)['scheme'] ?? '', ['http', 'https'])) {

2. Error Handling Consistency

The generated tools use different error handling patterns than existing tools. In SwaggerToMcpConverter:279-284, validation errors return arrays instead of throwing JsonRpcErrorException:

Current:

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return [
        'error' => 'Validation failed',
        'errors' => $validator->errors()->toArray(),
    ];
}

Should be:

if ($validator->fails()) {
    throw new JsonRpcErrorException(
        message: 'Validation failed: ' . $validator->errors()->first(),
        code: JsonRpcErrorCode::INVALID_REQUEST
    );
}

3. Performance Optimizations

HTTP Configuration in SwaggerToMcpConverter:380:

• Hardcoded timeout values should be configurable
• Consider connection pooling for high-volume usage
• Add request caching for repeated spec fetches

4. Code Structure

Large Methods: The generateHttpRequest() method (376-423) could be broken into smaller, more focused methods for better maintainability.

---

🧪 Test Coverage Assessment

Strong Coverage:

• ✅ Core parsing functionality
• ✅ Naming conventions and edge cases
• ✅ Resource generation
• ✅ Hash detection logic
• ✅ Authentication configuration

Potential Gaps:

• Integration tests for the full command workflow
• Error scenario testing (network failures, malformed specs)
• Security testing for URL validation
• Generated tool functionality verification

---

💡 Notable Implementation Details

Smart Path-to-Class Conversion

The convertPathToStudly() method (470-491) elegantly handles various naming conventions:

// Converts /lol/{region}/server-stats → LolRegionServerStats
$processed[] = Str::studly($segment);

Template-Based Generation

The programmatic stub system enables dynamic code generation while maintaining clean separation between templates and logic.

Automatic Registration

Generated components are automatically registered in the configuration, reducing manual setup steps.

---

🔧 Recommendations

High Priority:

1. Strengthen URL validation to prevent potential SSRF attacks
2. Standardize error handling to use JsonRpcErrorException consistently
3. Add integration tests for the complete generation workflow

Medium Priority:

1. Make HTTP timeouts configurable
2. Add request retry configuration
3. Refactor large methods for better maintainability

Low Priority:

1. Add YAML support (noted as future enhancement)
2. Enhanced authentication schemes (OAuth2 flows)
3. Custom template support for organizations

---

🎯 Conclusion

This is a high-quality implementation that significantly enhances the package's capabilities. The feature is well-designed, thoroughly tested, and provides excellent developer experience.

Recommendation: Approve with minor fixes for the URL validation and error handling consistency issues.

The implementation demonstrates excellent software engineering practices and will provide substantial value to users integrating external APIs into their MCP servers.

• Includes comments for additional security measures that could be added

Improvement #2: Standardized Error Handling

• Updated generated tool code in SwaggerToMcpConverter.php
• Replaced error arrays with proper JsonRpcErrorException throwing
• Fixed constructor syntax to match actual exception class
• Uses appropriate error codes (INVALID_PARAMS, INTERNAL_ERROR)

Improvement #3: Configurable HTTP Timeouts

• Added $httpTimeout property with default value of 30 seconds
• Added setHttpTimeout() method for configuration
• Replaced hardcoded timeout values in both tool and resource generation
• Maintains backward compatibility with sensible defaults

Improvement #4: Method Refactoring

• Broke down large generateHttpRequest() method into focused methods:

  • generateQueryParametersCode(): Query parameter handling
  • generateHttpMethodCall(): HTTP method execution using modern match syntax
• Improved maintainability and readability
• Each method has a single responsibility

Changes Summary
