Connect your Tyk instance to any AI agent to streamline your API management and gateway operations through conversation.

What you can do

  • Key Management — Create, retrieve, update, and delete API keys (Session Objects) directly in the Tyk Gateway.
  • Security Policies — Define and manage security policies to control access rights and rate limits across your API ecosystem.
  • API Definitions — List all active API definitions from your Dashboard and create new ones using the Tyk Classic format.
  • Gateway Control — Trigger hot reloads to force the Gateway to refresh its configuration and apply changes instantly.
  • Granular Inspection — Fetch detailed metadata for specific keys and policies to audit access and performance metrics.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Provide your Tyk URL and Gateway Secret (or Dashboard Token)

Who is this for?

  • DevOps Engineers — Automate gateway reloads and policy updates without leaving the terminal or chat interface.

List all my API definitions sorted by name.

I've retrieved your API definitions. You have 3 active APIs: 'Auth-Service', 'Payment-Gateway', and 'User-Management'. Would you like to see the details for any of these?

Get the details for the security policy with ID 'pol-98765'.

Inspecting policy 'pol-98765'... This policy allows access to the 'Auth-Service' with a rate limit of 100 requests per minute and a quota of 10,000 requests per month.

Force a hot reload on the Tyk Gateway.

Triggering hot reload... The Tyk Gateway has successfully reloaded its configuration and all API definitions are now up to date.

You can use the `hot_reload` tool. This forces the Tyk Gateway to reload its configuration and API definitions, ensuring all updates are live without a full restart.
