What problem does it solve?

Azure API Management (APIM) can be configured as a centralized AI gateway to govern AI models, MCP tools, and agents, providing a single point of policy, authentication, and observability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Governance and policy orchestration for AI backends (model, tool, agent governance)
  • Secure, scalable APIM gateway with token limits, semantic caching, content safety, and governance policies
  • End-to-end testing and onboarding guidance for APIM-based AI gateways

Quick Start

Deploy the APIM-based AI gateway and begin configuring governance policies for your AI models and MCP tools.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an Azure API Management AI gateway to govern AI models?▼

You can configure an Azure API Management AI gateway by deploying APIM and applying governance policies to centrally manage AI models, MCP tools, and agents. This provides a single point of policy, authentication, and observability for your AI backends.

What is an AI gateway used for when deploying AI models and MCP tools?▼

An AI gateway provides centralized governance and policy orchestration for AI backends. It enforces token limits, semantic caching, and content safety, ensuring secure and scalable management of your AI models and MCP tools across deployments.

Do I need Azure CLI to set up semantic caching and token metrics in APIM?▼

Yes, you need Azure CLI and an active APIM deployment to configure the AI gateway. These prerequisites enable you to deploy the gateway and activate policies like token limits, semantic caching, and token metrics.

Can I apply content safety and token limit policies to agents via APIM?▼

Yes, you can apply content safety and token limit policies to agents through the APIM gateway. It supports model governance, tool governance, and content safety governance across your APIM deployments and testing workflows.

What is the best way to govern MCP tools across multiple APIM deployments?▼

The best way to govern MCP tools is configuring Azure API Management as a centralized AI gateway. This enables consistent policy orchestration, authentication, and observability across all your APIM deployments and testing workflows.
