Quickstart

Get up and running with MCP Gateway Pro in under 5 minutes.

1

Subscribe to MCP Gateway Pro

Head to the subscription page and enter your email to get started. You'll only pay for what you use:

  • $0.005 per API request
  • $0.10 per connected server hour (~$73/server/month)

After subscribing, you'll be prompted to create a passkey for secure, passwordless authentication.

2

Create an API Key

Once logged in, navigate to MCP Gateway → Keys in the console sidebar. Click "Create Key" to generate a new API key.

Copy your API key immediately — it won't be shown again.

Your API key will look like: axgw_live_k1_xxxxxxxxxxxx

3

Connect an MCP Server

Go to MCP Gateway → Servers and click "Add Server". You can add any remote MCP server that supports SSE transport.

For example, to add the GitHub MCP server:

# Server Configuration
Alias: github
URL: https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
Token: ghp_your_github_token

Check out the Connecting Servers guide for more examples.

4

Make Your First Request

Use your API key to authenticate requests to the gateway. The gateway aggregates all your connected servers into a single MCP endpoint.

List Available Tools

curl -X POST https://api.appxen.ai/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer axgw_live_k1_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","id":1}'

Call a Tool

curl -X POST https://api.appxen.ai/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer axgw_live_k1_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "github__get_me",
      "arguments": {}
    },
    "id": 2
  }'

Tools are namespaced with the server alias (e.g., github__get_me). This prevents naming conflicts when you have multiple servers connected.
