## Description

Traefik Hub is an Connector that lets you manage cloud-native API gateways and Kubernetes ingress proxies through your AI client. Instead of jumping between multiple dashboards to check proxy statuses or manually editing configuration files to update routing, you can handle these tasks through a single conversation. It handles the heavy lifting of mapping native clusters, checking proxy deployment statuses, and pulling real-time telemetry on your gateway hits. You get a clear view of your platform's health and security posture without the overhead of manual audits. By connecting this through the Vinkius catalog, you're basically giving your agent a set of keys to your infrastructure. You can quickly find active agents, approve new subscriptions, and see exactly where your latency spikes are happening. It turns a multi-step infrastructure headache into a simple workflow. You can govern application limits, bridge external applications via OAuth tokens, and manage workspace scopes across your entire environment. This means you spend less time on the plumbing of API management and more time actually building. You can also quickly identify which specific logical schemas are approved for ingress, ensuring that your security boundaries remain tight while your traffic keeps moving. You don't have to worry about the nuances of K8s CRDs or manual proxy mapping anymore.

## Tools

### traefik_get_agent_health
Tests liveness probes across ingress hubs to check operational limits. You can use this to see if your pods are actually healthy and ready to handle traffic.

### traefik_list_apis
Dumps the full directory of internal and external HTTP APIs routing through the gateway. You can use this to verify your entire routing table in one go.

### traefik_list_workspaces
Enumerates active logic scopes and namespaces inside the Traefik Hub. This helps you organize your different environments and API portals.

### traefik_approve_subscription
Grants ingress traversal by manually accepting bridging logic tokens. This helps you onboard new external applications without touching the core gateway config.

### traefik_get_api_metrics
Aggregates error traces and API latencies into a structured telemetry report. It makes it easy to spot performance bottlenecks in your gateway hits.

### traefik_list_active_agents
Locates hosted Traefik Ingress deployment pods mapped to the hub. This gives you a clear count of your active cluster instances.

### traefik_list_subscriptions
Maps all external identities currently attempting logic access over proxy portals. It helps you keep tabs on who is actually hitting your gateway.

### traefik_revoke_subscription
Bans and tears down an active API consumer token immediately. Use this to kill access for rogue users or leaked keys instantly.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Can you show me the current latency for our public APIs and tell me if any are spiking?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Gateway Latency Report

| API Endpoint | Avg Latency | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `/v1/auth` | 42ms | ✅ Healthy |
| `/v1/data` | 480ms | ⚠️ High Latency |
| `/v1/upload` | 120ms | ✅ Healthy |

**Observation:** The `/v1/data` endpoint is currently experiencing a significant spike in latency. I recommend checking the logs for that specific workspace.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to block a specific consumer who's causing issues. Can you find their subscription and revoke it?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Subscription Revocation

I've located the subscription for the consumer ID `uuid-998877`. 

**Action Taken:**
- **Subscription ID:** `uuid-998877`
- **Status:** Successfully Revoked
- **Effect:** This consumer is now blocked from all proxy portals.

Your gateway is now protected from this specific identity.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List all the active Kubernetes pods that are currently mapped to our hub.
```

**Response:** 
```
### Active Cluster Pods

I found 3 active pods mapped to the Traefik Hub:

* **Pod-A72:** `status: Running` (Namespace: `prod-api`)
* **Pod-B11:** `status: Running` (Namespace: `prod-api`)
* **Pod-C09:** `status: Pending` (Namespace: `staging`)

Would you like me to check the liveness probes for any of these specifically?
```

## Capabilities

### Map active Kubernetes pods
Link your hosted Traefik Ingress deployment pods to the hub for easier management.

### Fetch real-time API metrics
Get a structured report of your API latencies and error traces instantly.

### Approve OAuth subscriptions
Grant ingress traversal to new external applications with a single command.

### Revoke unauthorized access
Ban and tear down active consumer tokens to secure your gateway immediately.

### List published APIs
View the full directory of internal and external HTTP APIs routing through your gateway.

### Check agent health
Evaluate liveness probes across your ingress hubs to ensure operational limits are met.

## Use Cases

### Revoking a leaked key
An admin finds a compromised token and asks the agent to use traefik_revoke_subscription to block it immediately.

### Auditing gateway latency
An engineer wants to see why the gateway is slow and asks the agent to pull data with traefik_get_api_metrics.

### Onboarding a new partner
A developer needs to approve a new app and uses traefik_approve_subscription to grant access.

### Checking pod status
An operator needs to see which pods are live and asks the agent to check with traefik_list_active_agents.

## Benefits

- Stop manual CRD editing by using the API directory to see your full routing table instantly.
- Identify performance bottlenecks faster by pulling real-time telemetry on your gateway hits.
- Secure your gateway by using the revocation tool to kill rogue tokens in seconds.
- Automate partner onboarding by approving new subscriptions through a simple conversation.
- Monitor cluster health across regions by checking liveness probes with the health tool.
- Organize your infrastructure better by listing all active namespaces and scopes in one view.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a direct interface for managing complex Kubernetes gateway logic through natural language.

1. Provide your TRAEFIK_HUB_API_KEY in the Connector configuration.
2. Connect your AI client to the Traefik Hub MCP via the Vinkius catalog.
3. Ask your agent to audit metrics, manage subscriptions, or map clusters.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does Traefik Hub help with Kubernetes ingress?**
It gives you a way to manage your ingress proxies and pod mappings through your AI client. You can see which pods are live and how they map to your hub without manual configuration.

**Can I use Traefik Hub to manage API limits?**
Yes, you can govern application limits and see which users are approved for ingress. It helps you keep your API boundaries secure.

**How do I revoke a subscription with Traefik Hub?**
You can ask your agent to use the revocation tool to immediately ban a consumer token. This is useful for stopping rogue traffic or leaked keys instantly.

**Does Traefik Hub show real-time traffic data?**
It pulls telemetry and metrics, including error traces and latencies, for your gateway. This helps you monitor traffic health across your different workspaces.

**Is Traefik Hub good for monitoring cluster health?**
Yes, it can evaluate liveness probes across your ingress hubs to check operational limits. It gives you a clear view of your cluster's health.

**Can I explicitly track proxy traffic analytics natively using the Traefik MCP integration?**
Yes! Utilize `get_api_metrics` providing target APIs resolving strict analytic latency loops isolated.

**How do I explicitly approve or ban active third-party token portals natively?**
Target UUID logic limits explicitly inside `approve_subscription` or natively utilizing `revoke_subscription` avoiding manual CRD bounding errors natively secure.

**What orchestrates the physical Kubernetes deployments bounds mapped transparently?**
Yes, native traces executing explicitly under `get_agent_health` resolve infrastructure matrix states naturally avoiding SaaS panics inherently completely mapped.
