Manage Your Gateway with the Administration UI

Overview​

The Administration UI is a dashboard for your Traefik Hub gateway, across every replica it runs. It gives you one place to view your gateway's routes, monitor AI Gateway analytics, and manage HTTP, AI, and MCP routes.

The Administration UI is available starting in Traefik Hub v3.21.0. It runs as a separate deployment next to your gateway, and it requires a gateway token that includes the ai-dashboard feature.

View your gateway​

The Overview page shows your gateway at a glance. It lists how many HTTP routers, AI routes, and MCP servers are loaded, its entrypoints, enabled features like access logs and tracing, and its configuration providers. The Certificates page under TLS lists the certificates your gateway uses.

The following screenshot shows the Overview page.

Monitor cost, performance, and security​

The Analytics section displays metrics for the following:

  • Cost: what your AI traffic spends, using the gateway's own per-response price estimate.
  • Performance: traffic, latency, and errors by route.
  • Security: guardrail activity across your gateway.

These pages show data after you set up Analytics. Until then, each page displays a message that Analytics isn't enabled on the gateway.

Manage HTTP, AI, and MCP routes​

The AI & MCP and HTTP sections list the following:

  • AI routes: the routes serving your LLM and AI traffic.
  • MCP servers: the MCP servers exposed through your gateway.
  • HTTP routers, services, and middlewares: your standard HTTP traffic configuration.

You can view these resources as soon as the Administration UI is running. To create, edit, and delete them, set up GitOps. Without GitOps, the UI doesn't display create, edit, or delete controls.

Manage changes through your GitOps workflow​

The Administration UI follows a GitOps workflow. Your Git repository stays the source of truth for your gateway's configuration, so changes made through the UI go through the same review your team already trusts for code. Create or edit an AI route, MCP server, or HTTP resource, and the Administration UI opens a pull request in GitHub under your own account instead of writing directly to your cluster. Your team reviews it like any other change, and your GitOps tool applies it to your gateway after the merge.

The following screenshot shows the Pending changes page, where you review and submit your changes as a pull request.

Ask your gateway​

The Ask your gateway page answers questions about your gateway in plain language. It reads your live configuration and telemetry through the Traefik MCP Server, across every replica of your gateway, so you can debug your infrastructure without switching between views. Answers are read-only. Asking a question does not change your configuration.
