LLM agents need an MCP endpoint, not a Swagger file. Below are four fast ways to wrap your API in MCP and put it online.
Quick Comparison
| # | Platform | Time to live | Starting price | Good when… |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cloudflare Workers | Under 2 min (one click deploy) | Free up to 100 k requests/day. Paid plan $5/mo. | You want a low-cost global edge. |
| 2 | Make.com | 3–5 min, no code | Free 1 k ops/mo. Core $9/mo. | Teams that already build flows in Make. |
| 3 | Azure API Management | 10–15 min | Basic v2 $150/mo, Standard v2 $700/mo, Premium v2 $2 801/mo | You use APIM and need VNet or policy support. |
| 4 | Kong Konnect | 15–20 min | OSS gateway free. Konnect SaaS: ask sales. | You run Kong and want MCP as a plug-in. |
