Daycare FAQs

Question 1

What is Daycare and its primary function?

Accepted Answer

Daycare is a remote server that bridges any OpenAPI-specified API into Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tools. Its primary function is to enable AI agents to dynamically discover, understand, and call external API endpoints at runtime, without needing hardcoded tool definitions.

Question 2

How does Daycare integrate APIs with AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Daycare parses an API's OpenAPI specification at runtime, extracting all operations. It then exposes three consolidated MCP tools – `list_endpoints`, `get_endpoint_details`, and `call_endpoint` – that AI agents can use to interact with the API.

Question 3

What kind of APIs can Daycare connect to?

Accepted Answer

Daycare can connect to any API that provides a valid OpenAPI (3.x) or Swagger specification URL. This allows it to dynamically integrate with a wide range of existing web services by simply configuring the `SPEC_URL`.

Question 4

What specific tools does Daycare provide to AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Daycare offers AI agents three core tools: `list_endpoints` for discovering available API operations, `get_endpoint_details` for retrieving comprehensive schema information (parameters, request/response bodies), and `call_endpoint` for executing HTTP requests against the real API.

Question 5

How do MCP clients connect to the Daycare server?

Accepted Answer

MCP clients connect to the Daycare server over HTTP using the Streamable HTTP transport at the `/mcp` endpoint. This allows for seamless communication and tool execution within MCP client environments.
