What it does
Configures Google Cloud API Gateway to act as a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (Public Preview) that exposes REST APIs as agent tools over HTTP (POST /mcp). Use when migrating OpenAPI 2.0 specs to OpenAPI 3.x for MCP, annotating specs with x-google-api-management.mcp and x-google-mcp-tool, securing tools/list with JWTs or API keys, connecting Google ADK (McpToolset) or Apigee API hub and Agent Registry, or troubleshooting MCP JSON-RPC errors (-32601, -32602, -32000). Do not use for Apigee X proxy bundles, outbound LLM model routing, or GKE Gateway API.
API Gateway Remote MCP Server (Public Preview)
This skill converts new or existing REST APIs on Google Cloud API Gateway into remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers (POST https://{default_hostname}/mcp, Public Preview). By annotating an OpenAPI 3.x (3.0.x or 3.1.x) specification with x-google-api-management.mcp and x-google-mcp-tool, API Gateway translates MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 requests (initialize, notifications/initialized, tools/list, tools/call) into standard HTTP REST requests to your backend while enforcing existing authentication and quota policies.
Attribution
MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read Usage Attribution. For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix gcloud with
CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:api-gateway-mcp-server)"
and append agent-skills/1.0 (skill:api-gateway-mcp-server) to User-Agent headers.
