description: >-
  CANDIDATE tool list only. Express Gateway publishes no MCP server — hosted or
  stdio. A search of the ExpressGateway GitHub organisation (8 repositories),
  npm, and the documentation site found no MCP package, no MCP endpoint, and no
  mention of the Model Context Protocol. mcp.express-gateway.io does not resolve.
  The tools below are DERIVED from the Admin API operations so that a reader can
  see what an MCP server over this API would expose; nobody ships them.
note: >-
  Wired into apis.yml as type X-MCPServerCandidate, not MCPServer. An MCPServer
  pointer would assert that Express Gateway ships an agent surface, which it does
  not. Note also that the OpenAPI these tools are derived from was written by API
  Evangelist from the published Admin API Reference — it is not a
  provider-published contract — so the input schemas an implementer would need
  come from the docs, not from a machine-readable spec.
