Quickstart Guide

​
Welcome to Tydli

Tydli transforms any API documentation into a fully functional Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in seconds. This allows AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Lovable.dev to directly call your APIs. Don’t have an OpenAPI spec? No problem! Our AI can analyze PDFs, HTML docs, Markdown files, or even plain text descriptions and automatically generate everything you need.

​
Two Paths to Your MCP Server

​
🚀 Path A: Have API Documentation (Any Format)

Best for: PDFs, READMEs, HTML docs, text descriptions
  1. Sign up for a free Tydli account
  2. Click “Deploy New API” on your dashboard
  3. Choose ”✨ Any Format (AI)” tab
  4. Upload, paste, or link your API documentation
  5. AI analyzes and extracts all endpoints automatically
  6. Review & Deploy — your MCP server is ready!

​
📋 Path B: Have OpenAPI Spec Ready

Best for: JSON/YAML OpenAPI files (Swagger 2.0, OpenAPI 3.0/3.1)
  1. Sign up for a free Tydli account
  2. Click “Deploy New API” on your dashboard
  3. Paste JSON/YAML, upload a file, or provide a URL
  4. Configure Authentication (if your API requires it)
  5. Click “Generate MCP Server” — done in under 60 seconds!

​
Configure Authentication

Whether you used AI or uploaded a spec directly:
  • Set up API keys, OAuth 2.0, Basic Auth, or custom headers
  • Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256 encryption
  • Test credentials before deploying to avoid issues

​
Connect to Claude Desktop

After deployment:
  1. Copy your MCP server URL from the dashboard
  2. Set up OAuth for secure Claude Desktop integration
  3. Configure Claude with your server details
  4. Start asking Claude to use your API!
That’s it! You now have a working MCP server that AI agents can interact with.
