FAQ from Portkey Admin MCP Server

What does the server do vs using the Portkey API directly?

It provides a full MCP interface to the Portkey Admin API, wrapping 151 tools into structured domains for easier integration with MCP-compatible clients like Claude.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js version 20 or higher and a valid Portkey API key with appropriate administrative scopes.

Where does my data live?

All operations are performed against the Portkey cloud API; the server does not store data locally.

Are there any known limits or transport restrictions?

The README does not specify transport options or rate limits beyond the requirement of a Portkey API key. It uses standard MCP transport; no authentication mechanism other than the API key is mentioned.
