Frequently asked questions about the Tyk MCP Server

How do I apply changes to my Tyk Gateway after updating a policy?

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.

Can I list all my existing API definitions from the Dashboard?

Yes! Use the list_apis tool. It returns a paginated list of all API definitions. You can also filter by name using the optional search string.

Is it possible to retrieve the details of a specific API key?

Absolutely. Use the get_key tool with the specific Key ID. The agent will return the session object, including access rights and rate limit configurations.
