# Adding Services to Your Portfolio

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Your **Portfolio** is organized into catalogs: **Agents**, **MCP Servers**, **Model Proxies**,
**APIs**, and **Gateways**. Each catalog holds the services (or gateway entries) your organization
registered or imported for governance, monitoring, and deployment. Services enter a catalog through
automated provider discovery or manual registration. For procedures, use the topics linked in each
section.

Watch this video to see how to register services in your portfolio:

Gateway creation starts in Anypoint Platform, which you can open from the enhanced MuleSoft
experience.

## Before You Begin

Before getting started, make sure you have:

- An Anypoint Platform account.

- One of these permissions:

  - Exchange: Exchange Contributor

  - Exchange: Exchange Administrator

  - Exchange: Exchange Creator

  For more information, see [Enhanced Experience Permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/general/exp-home-start#permissions).

## Workflow Entry Points

- **Home**

  Use **Add Services** to open provider connection or manual registration, then select the service
  type.

- **Portfolio**

  Open the **Agents**, **MCP Servers**, **Model Proxies**, **APIs**, or **Gateways** catalog. Use
  the add control for that type (for example, **Add API** or **Add Agent**), then select the
  available flow. For gateways, **Add Gateway** opens gateway creation in Anypoint Platform.

Navigation labels can vary by catalog, enabled features, and release.

## Service Type Registration Options

**Agents**

Register by uploading an agent card or connect an agent provider scanner for discovery.

**MCP Servers**

Register with an MCP URL or a schema file, or connect an MCP server provider.

**Model Proxies**

Register manually by creating a model proxy with a routing strategy that routes requests by provider
or semantic matching.

**APIs**

Register with an API specification, or connect an API provider so scans import APIs into the
**APIs** catalog.

**Gateways**

Create gateways in Anypoint Platform. In the enhanced MuleSoft experience, select **Add Gateway** to
open the Anypoint gateway creation flow.

For more information about registering any of these types, see
[Register Services Manually](https://docs.mulesoft.com/general/exp-services-register-manually) and
[Create a Scanner for Provider Services](https://docs.mulesoft.com/general/exp-services-connect-providers-to-add).
