GitHub Actions Integration
Automate MCP server generation in your CI/CD pipeline with CodeGlide's GitHub Action
Overview
CodeGlide provides a powerful GitHub Action that integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows. This action automatically generates MCP servers from your API source code during the build process, providing both downloadable artifacts and integrated pull requests back to your repository.
- name: CodeGlide MCP Generator
uses: CodeGlide/codeglide-mcpgen@v1.0.5
with:
input_directory: ${{ inputs.input_directory }}
create_pr: ${{ inputs.create_pr }}
create_branch_and_commit: ${{ inputs.create_branch_and_commit }}Available on GitHub Marketplace
The CodeGlide MCP Generator Action is officially released and available for immediate use in your workflows.
View on GitHub MarketplaceWorkflow Configuration Steps
Follow these steps to integrate CodeGlide MCP Generator into your GitHub Actions workflow. We have successfully generated MCP servers for 20+ public APIs including Google, Slack, Stripe, Twilio, and more, all available in our MCP Artifactory repository. You can use these as references to create your own MCP servers.
Add CodeGlide MCP Generator to Your Workflow
Start from your repository's Actions tab and create a new workflow file:
- Navigate to Actions → New workflow
- Search for "CodeGlide MCP Generator" in the Marketplace
- Click Use it to auto-insert the step into your workflow
Alternative: Copy step from the Marketplace release page and paste into your workflow
Configure Workflow Inputs
Set the required inputs for the CodeGlide action:
- input_directory: Specify the directory containing your API source code (defaults to './')
- create_pr: Set to
trueto automatically create a pull request - create_branch_and_commit: Set to
trueto create a new branch and commit changes
Alternatively: You can define the inputs directly in the workflow file as shown below:
- name: CodeGlide MCP Generator
uses: CodeGlide/codeglide-mcpgen@v1.0.5
with:
input_directory: 'src/api'
create_pr: true
create_branch_and_commit: trueRun the Workflow
After saving your workflow file, execute it:
- Go to the Actions tab and select your workflow
- Choose the input directory at runtime (defaults to current directory '.')
- Optionally choose to create PR or separate branch
- If no branch/PR is chosen, the MCP server will be downloadable artifact by default
- Click Run workflow button
View and Use the Results
Wait for the workflow to complete, Workflow shows logs and statuses for each step below:
- Repository Analysis: Analyze your repository and process the specified input directory
- Swagger Generation: Use existing Swagger configuration or generate new OpenAPI specifications
- API Detection: Detect API endpoints and generate MCP server
- Language Conversion: Convert generated MCP server to API source code language
- Output Generation: Create downloadable artifact or integrated pull request
This process supports continuous MCP generation.
