Get Started With MCP Proxies on WSO2 Platform AI Gateway

Deploy an MCP server through WSO2 Platform AI Gateway in a few commands — running entirely on your own infrastructure.
This quickstart shows you how to set up MCP proxies on WSO2 Platform AI Gateway as a standalone component via Docker. You'll start a sample MCP server, deploy it as an MCP proxy configuration to the gateway, and verify it using the official Model Context Protocol Inspector.

What you'll cover:

Spinning up WSO2 Platform AI Gateway locally with Docker Compose
Starting a sample MCP server and connecting it to the gateway network
Deploying an MCP proxy configuration with a custom context path
Testing the proxy with the MCP Inspector and listing available tools
Persisting or resetting your configuration on shutdown.

0-0:24 Introduction

0:25-0:53 Downloading and starting an AI Gateway instance

0:54-1:14 Checking the health of the control plane

1:15-1:32 Starting an MCP server

1:33-2:17 Deploying the MCP server as an MCP Proxy in the AI Gateway instance

2:18-3:13 Verifying functionality of the MCP Proxy

3:14-3:54 Stopping the AI Gateway instance

By the end, you'll have a working MCP proxy layer on your own gateway — ready to connect to any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Code.
