What is the Tyk MCP Server?
Connect your Tyk instance to any AI agent to streamline your API management and gateway operations through conversation.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Tyk URL and Gateway Secret (or Dashboard Token)
- Start managing your API infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — Automate gateway reloads and policy updates without leaving the terminal or chat interface.
- Backend Developers — Quickly generate API keys and check definition statuses during the development lifecycle.
- Security Teams — Audit existing policies and keys to ensure compliance with organizational access standards.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
