A gateway setup page should carry a developer from connection details to a useful first result. A server URL alone does not explain the operating contract.
Quick answer: Document the endpoint, supported transport, authentication choices, access requirements and a bounded first workflow. Explain where pricing applies, how to recognize a failed result and how access can be managed or revoked. Keep client-specific steps current and label the date or version they describe.
Separate setup from execution
A developer needs to know whether they are configuring a client, granting access or invoking a product operation. Those stages can have different prerequisites.
Avoid presenting a successful login as proof that every product operation is usable.
Structure the guide around decisions
| Section | Developer question |
|---|---|
| Connection | Which endpoint and transport should I use? |
| Authentication | Which flow applies to my client? |
| Product access | What plan or allowance is needed? |
| First task | What small operation should I inspect? |
| Failure | What should I do with an empty or rejected result? |
| Access management | Where can I review or revoke the connection? |
This is a documentation template, not a promise that all gateways expose the same features.
Use current concrete details carefully
As checked on October 29, 2026, API.market's setup page shows the hosted endpoint https://api.market/api/mcp/gateway and OAuth or API-key connection choices.
Client interfaces can change. Link to the maintained setup rather than copying a long configuration tutorial into every article.
Finish with an observable artifact
A first workflow should show what usable output looks like and what an unavailable result means. Label illustrative examples and identify any steps that were actually verified.
