Description

@cbarraford

I had a thought and wanted to see if it made sense to others (or maybe this exists already and I'm unaware). The idea is that any API can create a standard API endpoint that an AI like claude code can query to get information about the API provider and its endpoints. Similar to how a claude code will look for a CLAUDE.md file in a code repository, an MCP implementation will query /mcp of the API (if available) to pull API docs which includes all the API endpoints, query args, sample responses, etc (similar to, or exactly like OpenAPI Spec).

Over time, APIs around the world will start implementing this to make their APIs more MCP friendly. Thoughts?
