> **For AI agents:** The documentation index is at [https://docs.digitalocean.com/llms.txt](https://docs.digitalocean.com/llms.txt). Markdown versions of pages use the same URL with `index.html.md` in place of the HTML page (for example, append `index.html.md` to the directory path instead of opening the HTML document).

# Action Gateway Examples (public)

Action Gateway gives applications and AI agents governed access to tens of thousands of tools through a managed MCP endpoint or SDK. See [What You Can Build](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/agent-harness-runtime/details/what-you-can-build/index.html.md) for example use cases of Action Gateway with Harness Runtime.

Use Action Gateway with an MCP-compatible agent to research the web or work with Jira issues. Each example creates a standalone gateway session with explicit tools and permissions, then connects it to your agent. Neither example requires Harness Runtime.

**Note**:

  Action Gateway is in [public preview](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/product-lifecycle/index.html.md#public-preview).

[Build a Web Research Assistant](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/action-gateway/examples/build-research-assistant/index.html.md): Configure an Action Gateway session with Exa search and fetch so a coding agent can find sources, read pages, and produce a research brief.

[Triage Jira Issues](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/action-gateway/examples/triage-jira-issues/index.html.md): Configure Action Gateway to read Jira issues through an actor connection and require human approval before posting a comment.

Begin with the [Quickstart](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/action-gateway/quickstart/index.html.md) if you have not connected an MCP client before. For more use cases, see [What You Can Build with Action Gateway](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/action-gateway/details/what-you-can-build/index.html.md). The examples apply the controls described in [Configure Action Gateway for Production Agents](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents/action-gateway/how-to/use-in-production/index.html.md).
