# Generate an MCP Gateway from an existing API Proxy

`POST /apiops/projects/{projectName}/apiProxies/{apiProxyName}/mcp-gateway/`

## Request

- Base URL: `http://167.86.118.166:32080`
- URL: `http://167.86.118.166:32080/apiops/projects/{projectName}/apiProxies/{apiProxyName}/mcp-gateway/`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/apinizer/apis/apinizer-management-apis/docs/apiops/projects/:projectName/apiProxies/:apiProxyName/mcp-gateway/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Permission: API_MANAGEMENT or AI_DEVELOPMENT × MANAGE. Creates a NEW MCP (Model Context Protocol) API Proxy next to an existing REST or SOAP API Proxy, exposing each of its endpoints as an MCP tool (routingMode TOOL_EXPOSE, looping back to the source proxy). The source proxy is left untouched: it is not retyped, not modified and not redeployed. The generated gateway is created UNDEPLOYED — deploy it with a separate call once the tool list has been reviewed. Body fields are optional: a blank name defaults to '<source name> MCP' and a blank relativePath to '<source relativePath>-mcp'. Only REST and SOAP source proxies are supported; a source with no endpoint is rejected.
