MCP Cloud

MCP Cloud enables you to expose endpoints to AI agents as tools or sets of tools through a remote, cloud-based Model Context Protocol (opens new window)(MCP) server. Your API recipe collections and AI gateway collections generate unique, authenticated MCP URLs. You can add this MCP URL to your LLM settings to enable an AI agent to use your API endpoint collection to answer user prompts.
