With this launch, WSO2 positions its API Platform as a future-ready solution for enterprises aiming to securely scale AI-driven innovation while avoiding vendor lock-in and maintaining full control over their digital ecosystem.
WSO2 has announced the general availability of its new API Platform, designed to help enterprises securely manage APIs and AI assets while preparing for the rise of agentic AI systems. The platform provides a unified control plane to govern traditional APIs alongside AI models, prompts, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, they face increasing challenges around AI governance, cost control, and data security. The WSO2 API Platform addresses these issues by enabling businesses to expose, manage, and monetize digital assets while maintaining strict control over usage, risks, and operational costs.
Modular Architecture for Flexibility and Cost Efficiency
Built with a modular and unbundled architecture, the platform allows enterprises to start with core components like the AI Gateway and scale by adding API management, monetization, or developer portal capabilities as needed. This approach reduces total cost of ownership and accelerates time-to-value without forcing bundled services.
AI Gateway Enables Agent-Ready APIs
The AI Gateway is a key feature that converts existing APIs into agent-accessible endpoints within minutes using MCP. It also provides lifecycle management, including publishing, versioning, and discovery, while ensuring compliance through monitoring and control of third-party integrations.
Additionally, the gateway supports leading large language models (LLMs), offering capabilities such as semantic caching, adaptive routing, and token-based rate limiting. These features help enterprises manage AI costs, prevent data leakage, and scale AI deployments efficiently.
The AI Workspace provides a unified environment for developers and administrators to manage AI assets, enforce policies, and ensure regulatory compliance. It includes a Policy Hub with over 30 built-in guardrails, such as prompt validation and integration with third-party tools like Azure Content Safety, enabling robust AI governance.
The platform delivers real-time visibility into API and AI usage, allowing organizations to track consumption, enforce policies, and optimize costs. With AI-powered insights and customizable dashboards, businesses can analyze usage patterns and align API strategies with financial goals, effectively enabling FinOps for AI.
With integrated monetization capabilities powered by Moesif, the platform allows enterprises to generate revenue from APIs and AI services. It supports multiple pricing models, including pay-as-you-go and subscription-based plans, helping organizations maximize ROI from digital assets.
The WSO2 API Platform supports multi-gateway federation, enabling seamless integration with existing API ecosystems such as Amazon API Gateway, Azure API Management, and Kong. Its open-source foundation (Apache 2.0) ensures flexibility, while deployment options across SaaS, hybrid, and self-managed environments meet diverse regulatory and privacy requirements.
