Overview

The APISIX Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server bridges large language models (LLMs) with the APISIX Admin API, enabling natural language-based interaction for managing APISIX resources. It allows AI clients to view and manage resources, such as routes, services, and plugins, using plain text commands. The MCP server acts as an intermediary, translating AI client requests into APISIX Admin API calls. This facilitates automation and streamlines management tasks for APISIX users. The tool supports various operations, including resource management, plugin configuration, and security settings. It can be installed via Smithery or by building from source code.
