MCP Import

🚀 Import MCP Endpoints into Akto

Akto now supports direct import of API endpoints from MCP servers via Quick Start. With just your SSE endpoint URL, you can auto-discover all active MCP tools, resources, and prompts — no manual setup required. 🔧 What You Need

MCP SSE Endpoint URL (e.g., ends with /sse)

(Optional) Authorization headers, only if your MCP server requires them:

    Header Key (e.g., Authorization)

    Header Value (e.g., Bearer <your-token>)

✅ Steps to Import

1. Open Akto Dashboard → Go to Quick Start

2. Select “Import from MCP”

3. Fill in SSE Details

   SSE Endpoint URL: e.g., https://mcp.example.com/sse

   (Optional) Add Auth Headers:

    Header Key: Authorization
   
    Header Value: Bearer your-token

   If your MCP server is not secured, leave the auth fields blank.

4. Click Import

Akto will start listening to the SSE stream, scan events like tool_call, resource_call, and prompt_response, and auto-register all observed API endpoints. 🧪 Example Inputs With Authorization

SSE Endpoint URL: https://mcp.example.com/sse Header Key: Authorization Header Value: Bearer abc123

Without Authorization

SSE Endpoint URL: https://mcp.example.com/sse

🔍 What Gets Imported?

Akto will detect and add:

All tool endpoints (/v1/tools/...) → tagged as mcp-tools

All resource endpoints (/v1/resources/...) → tagged as mcp-resources

All prompt endpoints (/v1/prompts/...) → tagged as mcp-prompts

These will appear in API Inventory, ready for monitoring and testing. 🔐 Security

Auth headers (if any) are used once, only during import, and are not stored

Akto uses read-only access to your SSE stream
