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.

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Tyk tools. Connect 12 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.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Tyk in AutoGen
The Tyk 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 12 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.

How Vinkius secures
Tyk for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the Tyk MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 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 Tyk 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.
