TenthMatrix Proxy10x (Proxy10x) is TenthMatrix’s open API gateway and CDN edge control plane — live routing, WAF, cache, multi-POP DNS, and MCP for agents. Product page: /proxy10x. Deep dive: long article.

TenthMatrix Proxy10x — API Gateway and CDN

Bottom line. Stop treating the edge as a static nginx.conf. TenthMatrix Proxy10x evaluates rules every request from JSON/MCP configs — proxy, redirect, WAF, cache, canary — and only reloads nginx when listen/SSL blocks change.

What it is

Proxy10x is a dynamic API gateway and reverse proxy on OpenResty. Operators manage virtual hosts, rules, WAF, cache, traffic splits, and edge POPs from an Admin UI, REST API, MCP tools, or proxy10x-cli. It is built for multi-POP edges, GitOps-style config, and AI agents — the same stack that fronts tenthmatrix.com traffic in production patterns.

Complete API gateway + CDN

  • Routing: path / IP / country / JWT / cookie match → proxy, redirect, HTML, CAPTCHA.
  • Traffic: weighted, RR, canary, sticky, least-conn; promote and rollback backends.
  • WAF: policy packs, anomaly scoring, monitor/block, events API — see the explainable WAF blog and technical article.
  • CDN cache: edge static cache, optional Docker blob cache, Varnish hooks.
  • POPs + DNS: declare edges; Cloudflare A-record provisioning with guardrails.
  • Control plane: React Admin, Swagger, MCP (Claude/Cursor), CLI image on GHCR.

Agents Gateway & MCP Gateway (roadmap)

TenthMatrix is extending the same edge into the agent era:

  • MCP Gateway (in progress): governed front door for external MCP servers — auth bridging, tool allow/deny, audit of tools/call, per-tool rate limits.
  • Agents Gateway (in progress): policy and observability for multi-agent traffic through the TenthMatrix Proxy10x edge.
  • MCP management (available now): drive Proxy10x’s own Admin surface from Claude/Cursor via MCP tools.

Where to start

  1. Open wslproxy.org and the Swagger API.
  2. Clone github.com/bwalia/tenthmatrix/tree/main/products/proxy10x and run Compose or Helm for k3s.
  3. Read the technical article or the product page.
  4. For edge protection: read the Proxy10x WAF blog, the WAF technical brief, watch the WAF tour, or visit wslproxy.org/waf.
