About Tyk MCP Server
Connect your Tyk instance to any AI agent to streamline your API management and gateway operations through conversation.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 12 tools from Tyk through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Tyk, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
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.
The Tyk MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
