Today, we're open-sourcing Volcano SDK, a TypeScript SDK for building AI agents that combines LLM reasoning with real-world actions through MCP tools. Why Volcano SDK? One reason: because 9 lines of code are faster to write and easier to manage than 100+ . Without Volcano SDK? You'd need 100+ lines…

Data might be the fuel for AI. But APIs are the proper way to package that “fuel” as AI-ready “food” is through the API. AI coding tools can do a lot without APIs, but at some point they’ll need to be able to: . . . and all ideally without the engineer having to…

The solution landscape is complicated by the fact that MCP is still finding its footing, and there are many various OSS projects and vendors that are rapidly shipping “MCP support” in an attempt to take advantage of the hype and attention around MCP. Unfortunately, many early attempts at solutions…

Feed Agents (and humans, too) with *all* of your APIs While multi-gateway vendor deployments have been found to be lacking as a long-term strategy, the reality is that every large organization is — at some point — going to struggle with trying to wrangle APIs across multiple API gateway solutions.…

Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your API strategy? You're building APIs faster than ever, but somehow everything feels harder. Wasn’t API-first supposed to make all this easier? Well, you're not alone. And now industry analysts are noting it as well. New Gartner research on…

In my previous post, we discussed how we can implement a basic AI Agent with Kong AI Gateway. In part two of this series, we're going to review LangGraph fundamentals, rewrite the AI Agent and explore how Kong AI Gateway can be used to protect an LLM infrastructure as well as external functions.…
