Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Apache APISIX MCP Server?
Connect your Apache APISIX instance to any AI agent to orchestrate high-performance traffic management through natural language.
What you can do
- Route Orchestration — List, inspect, create, or delete routes to match client requests and forward them to target upstreams.
- Service Abstraction — Manage service entities that group common plugins and upstream configurations for easier API maintenance.
- Upstream Management — Configure virtual host abstractions for load balancing, including node management and health checks.
- Consumer Control — List and manage API consumers to handle authentication and per-user rate limiting.
- Configuration as Conversation — Update complex JSON configurations for any gateway resource without manually using CURL or the Dashboard.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your APISIX Admin URL and Admin Key (X-API-KEY)
- Start managing your microservices infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly audit routing rules and upstream health directly from the terminal or chat.
- Backend Developers — create and test new API routes and service abstractions without leaving the IDE.
- SRE Teams — troubleshoot traffic flow and consumer access issues using natural language queries.

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Apache APISIX tools. Connect 50 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Apache APISIX tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign Apache APISIX tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Apache APISIX tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Apache APISIX tool responses in an isolated environment
Apache APISIX in AutoGen
Apache APISIX and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Apache APISIX to AutoGen through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Apache APISIX in AutoGen
The Apache APISIX MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 50 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Apache APISIX for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the Apache APISIX MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update a route's configuration directly through the AI?
Yes. Use the put_route tool by providing the Route ID and the new configuration JSON. The agent will interface with the APISIX Admin API to apply the changes immediately.
How do I list all the backend upstreams configured in my gateway?
Simply ask the agent to 'list upstreams'. It will trigger the list_upstreams tool and return a detailed list of all virtual hosts and load balancer nodes.
Is it possible to delete a service that is no longer needed?
Yes, you can use the delete_service tool. Provide the specific Service ID, and the agent will remove the resource from your APISIX configuration.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Apache APISIX tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
