AI Proxy
The Aerostack AI Proxy is a smart gateway for publishing, managing, and monetizing AI-powered APIs. It goes beyond traditional API gateways — with built-in consumer authentication, per-consumer billing, rate limiting, a knowledge base (RAG), content moderation, and auto-generated documentation.

How It Differs from Workspaces
Section titled “How It Differs from Workspaces”| MCP Workspaces | AI Proxy | |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | JSON-RPC 2.0 (MCP) | REST HTTP |
| For | AI tool orchestration | API publishing & monetization |
| Auth | Workspace tokens | Consumer API keys |
| Billing | Team-based | Per-consumer metered |
| Best for | Internal tool access | Public API products |
Both share the same Aerostack infrastructure and edge runtime.
AI Proxy is powered by Aerostack Functions under the hood — the same fullstack edge runtime with native bindings to Database, Cache, Queue, AI, Vector Search, and Storage.
