About the Project
Be part of a strategic initiative to build DHL’s AI Enablement Platform based on Model Context Protocol (MCP), where Apigee X acts as the secure gateway connecting applications to AI-driven services.
This platform:
- Provides a centralized entry point for consuming AI services through APIs
- Integrates with MCP services responsible for AI orchestration and execution
- Enforces security, governance, and traffic management through Apigee
- Supports scalable and high-performance AI interactions across business domains
