Generally Available: Azure API Center now provides a data plane MCP server for enterprise-wide discovery of APIs and AI assets.

As organizations adopt MCP-based tooling and AI agents at scale, developers need a simpler way to discover and connect to the growing ecosystem of enterprise MCP servers, tools, APIs, and AI assets.  

With this update, Azure API Center introduces a data plane MCP server that acts as a unified enterprise discovery endpoint — enabling agents and developer tools to access the full catalog of registered MCP servers, tools, APIs, and AI assets through a single connection.  

This enables teams to:  

• Provide agents with centralized access to enterprise APIs and AI assets  
• Eliminate the need to manually configure connections to individual MCP servers  
• Automatically expose newly registered MCP servers and tools without reconfiguration  
• Simplify discovery and consumption across a rapidly growing enterprise catalog  

By acting as a unified enterprise discovery endpoint, Azure API Center helps organizations operationalize AI ecosystems with stronger discoverability, governance, and developer productivity — while reducing integration complexity for agentic applications.
