Give Claude control over your API gateway. AI manages routes, authentication, and traffic—with intelligent load balancing.

Our API is getting hammered. Can you add rate limiting to the /search endpoint?
I can't modify API gateway configuration—no access to routes, rate limits, or authentication rules.
You'll need to update your Kong or AWS API Gateway settings manually.

Our API is getting hammered. Can you add rate limiting to the /search endpoint?
Using gate.set_rate_limit
gate.set_rate_limit(route: "/search", limit: "100/min", by: "api_key")
Rate Limit Applied
Route: /search
Limit: 100 requests/minute
Scope: Per API key
Overflow: 429 Too Many Requests
Rate limit active. /search is now limited to 100 req/min per API key. Currently 3 clients are near the limit.
Available via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
gate.set_rate_limit(route, limit)
"Limit /search to 100/min"
gate.create_route(path, backend)
"Add a new API endpoint"
gate.traffic_stats()
"Show API traffic breakdown"
gate.block_ip(ip, reason)
