Each example links to a full walkthrough at `/examples/` and to its source code on GitHub at `https://github.com/zuplo/zuplo/tree/main/examples/`. This is one of two tabs on this page — the other is [Videos](/videos). Categories: Authentication, Backend-for-Frontend (BFF), Caching, Customization, API Governance, Git Ops, Logging, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Programmability, Rate Limiting, Routing, Testing, Validation. ## Starter examples - **[Basic API Gateway](/examples/basic-api-gateway)** (Authentication) — Protect your backend API with authentication, rate limiting, and request validation. - **[Remote MCP Server with OAuth](/examples/remote-mcp-server-with-oauth)** (Model Context Protocol (MCP)) — Secure your MCP Server with OAuth authentication using Auth0. - **[Dev Portal with API Keys](/examples/dev-portal-with-api-keys)** (Authentication) — Let developers sign up and create their own API keys through a self-serve portal. ## All examples | Example | Category | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [API Key + JWT Multi-Auth](/examples/api-key-jwt-multi-auth) | Authentication | Accept either an API key or a JWT on the same route with a composite inbound policy. | | [Circuit Breaker](/examples/circuit-breaker) | Programmability | Protect your backend from cascading failures by automatically blocking traffic when error rates exceed a threshold. | | [HTTP Deprecation](/examples/http-deprecation) | API Governance | Signal deprecated endpoints and sunset dates to API clients with standards-based Deprecation, Sunset, and Link headers. | | [Geolocation Routing](/examples/geolocation-routing) | Routing | Route requests to regional backends based on user location for data residency and latency optimization. | | [Canary Routing](/examples/canary-routing) | Routing | Gradually roll out new backend versions by routing a percentage of traffic to canary before full deployment. | | [Dynamic Rate Limits](/examples/dynamic-rate-limits) | Programmability | Set different rate limits based on user subscription tier or API key metadata. | | [Environment-Based Routing](/examples/environment-routing) | Routing | Route requests to sandbox or production backends based on API key metadata, like Stripe. | | [Idempotency Keys](/examples/idempotency-keys) | Programmability | Prevent duplicate API requests and ensure safe retries for payments and critical operations. | | [Semantic Caching](/examples/semantic-caching) | Caching | Reduce AI API costs by caching responses for semantically similar queries. | | [OpenAI App](/examples/mcp-server-openai-apps-sdk) | Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Build a ChatGPT App that connects to your API using MCP. | | [GraphQL MCP Server](/examples/mcp-server-graphql) | Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Make your GraphQL API available to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. | | [MCP Custom Tools](/examples/mcp-server-custom-tools) | Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Create AI tools that combine multiple API calls into a single action. | | [MCP Server Prompts](/examples/mcp-server-prompts) | Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Improve AI assistant interactions by adding guided prompts to your MCP Server. | | [Remote MCP Server](/examples/remote-mcp-server) | Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Expose your API to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT with built-in security. | | [Schema Validation with File Refs](/examples/schema-validation-file-ref) | Validation | Validate requests against JSON schemas stored in separate files. | | [Mocking & Unit Test](/examples/test-mocks) | Testing | Test your Zuplo handlers and policies with mocked request and context objects. | | [Custom Base Path](/examples/oas-base-path) | Programmability | Remove or rewrite URL paths when forwarding requests to your backend. | | [OpenFGA Authorization](/examples/openfga) | Programmability | Implement fine-grained authorization with relationship-based access control. | | [Rewrite Request Body](/examples/rewrite-request-body) | Programmability | Transform request bodies before forwarding to your backend API. | | [Route Custom Data](/examples/route-custom-data) | Programmability | Add custom metadata to routes and use it in your policies and handlers. | | [API Linting](/examples/api-linting) | API Governance | Enforce API design standards and consistency across your team with automated linting. | | [Backend for Frontend (BFF) Auth](/examples/bff-auth) | Authentication | Secure your web app by handling authentication server-side without exposing tokens to the browser. | | [Custom Rate Limiting](/examples/custom-429-response) | Programmability | Customize the error response users see when they hit your API rate limits. | | [Custom Modules](/examples/custom-module) | Programmability | Use npm packages and third-party libraries in your Zuplo handlers and policies. | | [Log Request & Response](/examples/log-request-response) | Programmability | Debug API issues by capturing full request and response bodies in your logs. | ## Can't find what you're looking for?
