Can I update a route's configuration directly through the AI?

Yes. Use the `put_route` tool by providing the Route ID and the new configuration JSON. The agent will interface with the APISIX Admin API to apply the changes immediately.

How do I list all the backend upstreams configured in my gateway?

Simply ask the agent to 'list upstreams'. It will trigger the `list_upstreams` tool and return a detailed list of all virtual hosts and load balancer nodes.

Is it possible to delete a service that is no longer needed?

Yes, you can use the `delete_service` tool. Provide the specific Service ID, and the agent will remove the resource from your APISIX configuration.

More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your Apache APISIX instance to any AI agent to orchestrate high-performance traffic management through natural language.

What you can do

Route Orchestration — List, inspect, create, or delete routes to match client requests and forward them to target upstreams.
Service Abstraction — Manage service entities that group common plugins and upstream configurations for easier API maintenance.
Upstream Management — Configure virtual host abstractions for load balancing, including node management and health checks.
Consumer Control — List and manage API consumers to handle authentication and per-user rate limiting.
Configuration as Conversation — Update complex JSON configurations for any gateway resource without manually using CURL or the Dashboard.

How it works

Who is this for?

DevOps Engineers — quickly audit routing rules and upstream health directly from the terminal or chat.
Backend Developers — create and test new API routes and service abstractions without leaving the IDE.
SRE Teams — troubleshoot traffic flow and consumer access issues using natural language queries.
