Managing Tools
After importing an API, MCP Bridge auto-generates one tool per API operation. You manage tools from the Tool Manager page.
Accessing the Tool Manager
From the Dashboard, click Manage Tools on any API card. This opens the Tool Manager for that API, showing all generated tools.
Enabling / Disabling Tools
Each tool has an enabled/disabled toggle. Only enabled tools are exposed through the MCP endpoint. Use this to control which operations are available to LLM clients.
Bulk operations:
Use the checkboxes to select multiple tools
Click Enable Selected or Disable Selected to toggle them in bulk
Use Select All / Deselect All for quick selection
Searching and Filtering Tools
Use the search bar to find tools by name or description
Filter by enabled/disabled status
Editing a Tool
Click Edit on any tool to open the Tool Editor. The editor has two tabs:
Basic Tab
Name
The tool's identifier (snake_case, used by MCP clients)
Display Name
A human-friendly name shown in the UI
Description
What this tool does (shown to LLMs in the tool definition)
Enabled
Toggle whether the tool is exposed via MCP
Parameters Tab
Manage the tool's input parameters:
View all parameters with their name, type, required status, and description
Add new parameters
Edit existing parameters (name, type, required, description, mapping)
Delete parameters
Each parameter has a mapping that tells MCP Bridge how to map the input to the backend API call (e.g., path parameter, query parameter, header, or request body field).
Testing from the Tool Editor
The Tool Editor includes a Test section where you can:
Fill in parameter values
Click Execute to run the tool against the real API
View the response inline
