Apigee hybrid 1.17.0 adds MCP data plane that runs in your Kubernetes cluster

Why it matters for readers: Explains how AI agents can call real APIs securely without moving those APIs off your infrastructure.

  • Apigee hybrid 1.17.0, released September 14, 2026, includes MCP support for running the MCP data plane inside a customer Kubernetes cluster.1
  • Customers can turn existing APIs into agentic tools by describing them with OpenAPI 3.0.x and creating an MCP Discovery Proxy.1
  • Agents interact with those tools over JSON-RPC using tools/list to discover available operations and tools/call to invoke them.1
  • The conceptual MCP model is unchanged from the earlier Apigee-hosted implementation; only the runtime location differs.1
  • The on‑cluster option addresses customers who keep runtimes in their own data centers, colocation, or other clouds for regulatory or operational reasons.1
