Welcome to the Rapid MCP documentation. These pages will help you get started with Rapid MCP and how to integration them into AI agents and model providers.

What is Rapid MCP?

Rapid MCP is a platform that allows you to transform any REST API into an MCP tool. It's a lightweight, easy-to-use, and powerful tool that allows you to connect your AI agents and model providers to any REST API via the MCP protocol.

Understanding a Tool in Rapid MCP

• A tool should map 1:1 to a REST API endpoint.
• i.e Tool call (get_weather) => GET /api/weather
• You would design your tools based on the functionality you want to give to the AI Agent.
• Each tool needs a definition (name, description, arguments) and the trigger (your API endpoint)
• RapidMCP allows you to configure authentication, headers, tokens, body, and more for each tool call.
