Publish a project or selected AI assets to make them available in DataPower® Nano Gateway and Developer Portal.
About this task
In IBM API Studio,
creating an MCP server or LLM provider configuration does not automatically make it accessible. To
enable consumption, publish them to either DataPower Nano Gateway or to
both DataPower Nano Gateway
and Developer Portal
based on your business requirement.
You can publish
- An entire project, including MCP servers and LLM provider configurations.
- A specific file within a project.
Note: Updating an API in the DataPower Nano Gateway does not
sync the changes back to IBM API Studio. Manage API
updates within IBM API Studio before
redeploying them to the DataPower Nano Gateway.
Procedure
-
From IBM API Studio
home page, publish the project in one of the following ways:
- If the project opens in the explorer, choose the project or a file inside a
project.
If the selected file has external references, the referenced file is also published along with
the selected asset. When duplicate assets are referred, that is when a namespace:name:version
number is duplicated in the publishing project, then any one asset gets published based on the
order of creation in the deployment.
- Click Publish.
The Publish project dialog box appears. IBM API Studio publishes the
AI assets by default to DataPower Nano Gateway.
- Select Publish to Developer Portal to publish AI assets to Developer Portal in
addition to DataPower Nano Gateway.
- Select the AI assets that you want to publish.
- Click Publish.
IBM API Studio
publishes the selected assets to DataPower Nano Gateway and Developer Portal and
displays the published endpoints. Copy the endpoints and test the MCP server and LLM API endpoints
to confirm that they work as expected.
