Unlocking Enterprise APIs for AI Agents3:01
As generative AI moves from conversation to execution, AI agents need secure and reliable access to enterprise capabilities.

In this session, we explore how Apigee helps transform existing enterprise APIs into agent-ready tools. You will learn how Apigee can improve or generate API specifications, translate REST APIs into MCP, and apply enterprise policies such as authorization, quotas, and caching.

We will also look at how these tools can be discovered through Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform or API Hub, and how Apigee can act as a secure gateway across APIs, models, agents, and consumption layers.

By the end of this session, you will understand how Apigee helps AI agents use enterprise APIs securely and at scale.

Gemini Enterprise and Apigee: Securely Connecting AI Agents to Enterprise APIs3:04
DEMO: Use Apigee as an MCP Data store for Gemini Enterprise7:16
The biggest hurdle in Enterprise AI is not the model — it is how agents securely access real enterprise APIs and data.

In this video, we will explore how Apigee, Gemini Enterprise, and the Model Context Protocol work together to expose existing APIs as governed MCP tools for AI agents.

We will walk through how an Apigee MCP Discovery Proxy can be connected to Gemini Enterprise as a Custom MCP Server Data Store, allowing agents to discover and call API-backed tools while Apigee provides the governance layer: security, traffic control, observability, and policy enforcement.

By the end of this demo, you will understand how to use Apigee as an MCP gateway for Gemini Enterprise and bring enterprise APIs into agentic workflows in a controlled and scalable way.
