Meet Tyk at the Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit

Tyk powers AI-connected enterprises as the only API management platform with native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support

Trusted by Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 organisations at billion-transaction scale, our infrastructure delivers the controls architects demand: full Infrastructure as Code automation, policy-as-code governance, and declarative configuration across every environment.

Visit Tyk at stand 504 at the Gartner AIBS Summit in London to discover how our cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid solutions adapt to your architecture today and scale wherever AI takes you next and keep your data within the borders you control.

MCP is now the standard way AI agents connect to enterprise tools

Public MCP servers grew from 100 to over 10,000 in just over a year. Weekly SDK downloads tripled to 24 million. The adoption of MCP looks less like a trend and more like an emerging standard.

But 90% of MCP servers run locally, on individual machines, outside IT’s visibility.

Employees are wiring AI directly into internal systems with no authentication, no rate limiting, and no audit trail. It’s shadow IT for AI, and the damage is already showing up: API spam hammering backend systems, high-privilege access with no oversight, and compliance teams with no idea what’s being touched.

Tyk MCP Gateway

For European enterprises, the stakes are higher still. With the EU AI Act, DORA, and GDPR obligations converging, ungoverned AI access to internal systems isn’t just a security gap – it’s a regulatory one.

Tyk has been securing APIs for the world’s largest organisations for over a decade. MCP is the same job, one layer up, and we’ve shipped the controls to prove it.
