Overview
Star Wars MCP Server is an MCP server for the SWAPI Star Wars API. All data used by this MCP server is fetched from the SWAPI documentation. The main goal of the project is to demonstrate how an MCP server can be used to interact with APIs via MCP tools. The server exposes capabilities to list and detail Star Wars entities, including characters, planets, films, species, vehicles, and starships, with optional search and automatic pagination. It supports fetching a single entity by ID and can automatically paginate through results across endpoints. Built-in caching optimizes performance, with features to clear cache and view cache statistics. The server is designed to register with MCP tools such as VS Code and Claude, enabling tool-based workflows and discovery. Returned data includes typical attributes like names and physical characteristics, homeworlds, climates, model details, and related entities where applicable.
