agent-gateway

MCP serverCloud & infra

Create, watch, pay for and connect hosted AI agent pods on AgentsPodium. Needs an API key.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use agent-gateway to list platforms

From the project's README

As published by agentspodium/agent-gateway in README.md.

Lets other AI agents drive AgentsPodium hosting (create/monitor/manage instances) through two machine protocols — MCP (Streamable HTTP) and A2A (Agent2Agent JSON-RPC) — both backed by the existing account API at https://agentspodium.com/api.

The gateway holds no state and no secrets of its own. Every call carries the caller's own AgentsPodium API key (Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..., or a session token), which is forwarded verbatim to the account API. Missing that header always answers 401 with a JSON body pointing at https://agentspodium.com/account ("API keys for agents") and https://hosting.defispace.com/docs/auth.

One process serves both hostnames, selected by the Host header wherever a path is shared between the two (only GET /); everything else defaults to MCP behaviour, and mcp.agentspodium.com / a2a.agentspodium.com route to the same Deployment.

Run locally

npm install
npm run build
ACCOUNT_API=https://agentspodium.com/api PORT=3200 npm start
# or, for iteration:
npm run dev

Env vars:

  • ACCOUNT_API — base URL of the account API (default https://agentspodium.com/api).
  • PORT — HTTP port (default 3200).
  • A2A_HOST — hostname that selects A2A behaviour for GET / (default a2a.agentspodium.com).

Calling it

MCP — mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, stateless (no session id). Requires Accept: application/json, text/event-stream.

# initialize
curl -s -X POST https://mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "protocolVersion": "2025-06-18",
      "capabilities": {},
      "clientInfo": { "name": "example-client", "version": "0.1.0" }
    }
  }'

# call a tool
curl -s -X POST https://mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/call",
    "params": { "name": "list_platforms", "arguments": {} }
  }'

Tools: list_platforms, list_instances, create_instance, get_instance_health, get_instance_term, set_llm_key, pause_instance, resume_instance, rebuild_instance, delete_instance, get_payment_options, set_peers, set_webhook. Plus one resource, agentspodium://docs (the hosting docs).

A2A — a2a.agentspodium.com/

curl -s https://a2a.agentspodium.com/.well-known/agent-card.json

# structured (data part)
curl -s -X POST https://a2a.agentspodium.com/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "message/send",
    "params": {
      "message": {
        "parts": [{ "kind": "data", "data": { "skill": "create-instance", "params": { "engine": "hermes", "tier": "small", "name": "My Agent" } } }]
      }
    }
  }'

# plain text (small command grammar)
curl -s -X POST https://a2a.agentspodium.com/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "message/send",
    "params": { "message": { "parts": [{ "kind": "text", "text": "platforms" }] } }
  }'

Text grammar: create <engine> <tier> [name ...], health <id>, term <id>, platforms, payment <id>. Anything else answers with the skill list and the exact JSON shape.

Public, no auth: GET /catalog.json (proxy of the account API's /a2a-catalog).

Deploy

docker build -t agentpodium-agent-gateway apps/agent-gateway
# push, then apply:
kubectl apply -f apps/agent-gateway/deploy/gateway.yaml

deploy/gateway.yaml creates namespace ap-agentgw, a Deployment/Service on port 3200, and two HTTPRoutes (mcp.agentspodium.com, a2a.agentspodium.com) against the shared akash-gateway Gateway. Swap __IMAGE_TAG__ for the built image tag before applying.
