Google Cloud API Gateway now exposes existing REST APIs as MCP tools
What happened
Google Cloud API Gateway 进入公开预览，原生支持 MCP 协议。你只要在已有的 OpenAPI 配置文件里加一行 x-google-api-management.mcp: true，部署后网关本身就变成一个远程 MCP 服务器，现有的 REST 接口直接作为智能体可调用的工具暴露出来。这意味着不用再单独写代码、部署和维护一个 M...

Google Cloud API Gateway enters public preview with native MCP support. Add x-google-api-management.mcp: true to an OpenAPI spec, deploy, and the gateway acts as a remote MCP server—no separate server needed. Existing JWT, API-key auth, and quota policies apply uniformly to both MCP and REST traffic. The tools/list discovery endpoint is unauthenticated by default; the post recommends securing it with JWT in production. Connect any MCP client to the gateway's /mcp path; the ADK example uses McpToolset with StreamableHTTPConnectionParams.
