Apigee Adds Managed MCP Support for Secure APIs and Policy

🔒 Google’s Apigee now supports MCP with fully managed, remote servers, enabling organizations to expose existing APIs as agent tools without code changes or running MCP infrastructure. By creating an MCP proxy with your OpenAPI spec and a /mcp basepath, Apigee handles transcoding, protocol handling, and automatic registration in API hub. You can apply Apigee’s built-in security, identity, quota, and analytics controls to govern and monitor agent interactions. The capability is currently available in preview for a limited set of customers.

Google Adds Official MCP Support Across Key Cloud Services

🔌 Google announced fully-managed, remote support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling agents and standard MCP clients to access a unified, enterprise-ready endpoint for Google and Google Cloud services. The managed MCP servers integrate with services like Google Maps, BigQuery, GCE, and GKE to let agents perform geospatial queries, in-place analytics, and infrastructure operations. Built-in discovery, governance, IAM controls, audit logging, and Google Cloud Model Armor provide security and observability. Developers can expose and govern APIs via Apigee and the Cloud API Registry to create discoverable tools for agentic workflows.

Model Armor and Apigee: Protecting Generative AI Apps

🔒 Google Cloud’s Model Armor integrates with Apigee to screen prompts, responses, and agent interactions, helping organizations mitigate prompt injection, jailbreaks, sensitive data exposure, malicious links, and harmful content. The model‑agnostic, cloud‑agnostic service supports REST APIs and inline integrations with Apigee, Vertex AI, Agentspace, and network service extensions. The article provides step‑by‑step setup: enable the API, create templates, assign service account roles, add SanitizeUserPrompt and SanitizeModelResponse policies to Apigee proxies, and review findings in the AI Protection dashboard.
