Summary
The MCP Support Policy configures Omni Gateway to support MCP server instances. You must apply this policy to all MCP server instances for the instance to function properly. If you don’t apply this policy, Omni Gateway might throw a runtime error.
The MCP Support policy enables the Total MCP Calls metric that tracks the total successful and unsuccessful calls made to the MCP server. To view the total MCP calls, see Viewing Key Metrics in API Manager for Managed Omni Gateway.
Configure the policy to inject the MCP primitive as request headers toward the upstream backend so that downstream policies can use it. To learn more, see Configuring Policy Parameters.
