Talk to your platform in plain English

With Claude connected to the Platform MCP Server, you can discover, govern, and monitor your Anypoint platform from your terminal or Claude Desktop. Here are three prompts that cover the key capabilities.


Discover what you have

Ask Claude:

“List the APIs in my organization.”

Claude calls list_apis and returns your Exchange assets. Try follow-ups:

  • “Search my portfolio for anything related to photos”
  • “What MCP servers are registered in my org?”

You should see the Photo Catalog API you created in Module 3 and the MCP Server you deployed appear in the results.


See what’s consuming tokens

Ask Claude:

“Show me a cost overview and tell me which instances are consuming the most tokens.”

Claude calls fetch_cost_overview and fetch_cost_instances — the same token visibility you saw in the AI Gateway Monitoring tab (Module 4), but now accessible conversationally from your terminal.

Follow up with:

“Recommend ways to cut cost.”


Check API health

Ask Claude:

“Give me a monitoring overview for my APIs and flag anything underperforming.”

Claude calls fetch_monitoring_overview and show_observability_performance. You’re now managing your entire Anypoint environment — APIs, agents, MCP servers, and LLM cost — from a single conversation.


Why this matters

“Whether you manage your platform through the UI, through a headless API, or conversationally from your terminal, governance travels with you.”

The Platform MCP Server is the unifying layer of today’s workshop. Every asset you created — the AWS agent from the Scanner, the Salesforce MCP Server, the Photo Catalog MCP Bridge, the LLM Proxy — is now discoverable and manageable through a single AI conversation, with the same permissions and governance as the platform UI.
