Apache APISIX

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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Provide your APISIX Admin URL and Admin Key (X-API-KEY)
  3. 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 Claude Code?

Claude Code registers Apache APISIX as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 50 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Apache APISIX data drives decisions without human intervention.

  • Single-command setup: claude mcp add registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart

  • Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks

  • Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Apache APISIX tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts

  • Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
