Documentation

Full README

Portkey Admin MCP Server

The [Portkey](https://portkey.ai/) Admin API as an MCP server — 194 tools across prompts, configs, keys, analytics, governance, deployments, and more.

<hr>

[!IMPORTANT] Active compatibility development. Palo Alto Networks completed its Portkey acquisition on 2026‑05‑29 and now presents Portkey as the core of Prisma AIRS AI Gateway. The Portkey Admin API remains live, and its official OpenAPI and product changelog continued adding control-plane surfaces through October 2026; this project has therefore resumed API-coverage work. It targets the Portkey-compatible API (x-portkey-api-key), not Prisma AIRS/Strata Cloud Manager directly. Palo Alto now publishes a Prisma AIRS management specification, but it uses different authentication, multiple management bases, and a smaller domain set, so it is not a PORTKEY_BASE_URL swap. See the short Prisma AIRS interoperability guide for the supported side-by-side model and adapter criteria.

Quick Start

You need a Portkey API key with appropriate scopes. Get one from your Portkey dashboard under API Keys.

Version 0.15.0 uses MCP SDK v2 and serves protocol revision 2026-07-28 and older clients on the same endpoint. It retires HTTP sessions and replay; obsolete settings warn and are ignored. See compatibility and deprecations before upgrading from 0.14.x.
