Envoy Proxy MCP

What is Envoy Proxy MCP?

Envoy Proxy MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for Envoy, the high-performance edge and service proxy. Originally built by Lyft and now a CNCF graduated project, Envoy is the data plane for most service meshes including Istio.

Complex Configuration Made Simple

Envoy's configuration is notoriously complex. AI models through Envoy MCP can help generate correct listener, cluster, and route configurations, configure filter chains, and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "envoy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["envoy-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ENVOY_ADMIN_URL": "http://localhost:9901"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use Cases

Envoy MCP serves platform engineers managing service meshes, teams configuring Envoy as an API gateway, and organizations needing AI assistance with Envoy's powerful but complex configuration system.
