## What is Rapid MCP?

Rapid MCP lets you turn any REST API into an MCP tool and connect it to AI agents (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, OpenAI, etc.). Each tool maps 1:1 to an endpoint, with simple templating for arguments.

## Quick variable examples

String

```json
{
  "message": "any test string"
}
```

Template

```json
{
  "message": "{{properties.message}}"
}
```

Number

```json
{
  "age": 25
}
```

Template

```json
{
  "person_age": "{{properties.age}}"
}
```

Object

```json
{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "meta": { "contact": { "email": "john@example.com" } }
}
```

Template

```json
{
  "name": "{{properties.name}}",
  "email": "{{properties.meta.contact.email}}"
}
```

Array

```json
{
  "array": [{ "key": "france" }]
}
```

Template

```json
{
  "countries": "{{properties.array}}"
}
```

## Example: quick weather tool

Tool name: `get_weather`

Tool arguments

```json
{
  "latitude": 52.52,
  "longitude": 13.419998
}
```

Endpoint (GET)

```
https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude={{properties.latitude}}&longitude={{properties.longitude}}
```

Body

```json
{
  "lat": "{{properties.latitude}}",
  "long": "{{properties.longitude}}"
}
```

## Connect an agent (URL)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "RapidMCP": {
      "url": "https://rapid-mcp.com/mcp/<serverId>/stream"
    }
  }
}
```
