Best API Gateways

Tyk is a leading Open Source API Gateway and Management Platform, featuring an API gateway, analytics, developer portal and dashboard. We power billions of transactions for thousands of innovative organisations. By making our capabilities easily accessible to developers, we make it fast, simple and low-risk for big enterprises to manage their APIs, adopt microservices and adopt GraphQL. Whether self-managed, cloud or a hybrid, our unique architecture and capabilities enable large, complex, global organisations to quickly deliver highly secure, highly regulated API-first applications and products that span multiple clouds and geographies.

Grafbase is a high-performance GraphQL platform designed to help developers build, unify, and manage APIs by combining multiple data sources into a single federated API layer. It acts as a GraphQL federation gateway that aggregates services such as databases, microservices, REST APIs, and third-party systems into one unified endpoint that applications can query efficiently. Developers can compose a federated graph from multiple independent subgraphs, allowing different teams or services to evolve independently while still presenting a single coherent API to clients. Grafbase includes a schema registry and governance tools that enable teams to manage schema changes, run checks to detect breaking changes, and collaborate on schema proposals before deployment. It also provides analytics, observability, and performance monitoring features that track API usage and help teams optimize their data infrastructure.

Apigene MCP Gateway is the runtime layer that connects AI agents to APIs and MCP servers through the Model Context Protocol. It exposes agent tools, context, skills, and instructions as a single remote MCP endpoint that is fully managed and governed, making MCP native rather than experimental. Apigene provides the full agent foundation layer as one MCP Gateway, allowing agents to securely access APIs and MCP servers without custom glue code or framework-specific logic. Teams can build AI agents using chat, defining which APIs and MCP servers the agent can use, how it should reason, and how it should act without code. It supports intelligent tool selection, automatically matching the right API or MCP tool to each request, and multi-platform deployment across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, VS Code, internal copilots, enterprise AI platforms, and custom apps.

WisGate is a unified AI API gateway built for developers, creators and teams that need fast access to top AI models without managing separate providers, keys or billing systems. Through one API and an interactive Studio, WisGate supports LLM, image generation, video generation and coding workflows across providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and DeepSeek. WisGate is designed for teams that want to build faster, compare models in one place and choose the right balance of quality, speed and cost for each project. Developers can integrate models directly through API calls, while creators and non-technical teams can use Studio to generate text, images and videos in the browser.
