AI agents are spreading across organizations rapidly. Each agent needs secure access to different Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Authentication becomes complex. Scaling creates bottlenecks. The dreaded "too many endpoints" problem emerges. You face a classic AI infrastructure headache. The…
If you've used KAi before, you'll notice the difference immediately. The enhanced version has deeper access to your Konnect environment and new tools for debugging, analytics, and configuration management: The new KAi is more capable because it's backed by a structured set of tools that can query…
The report identifies a mindset trap that's holding most organizations back: "inside-out" integration thinking. Inside-out means viewing integration from the perspective of only prioritizing the reuse of legacy integrations and architecture (i.e., simply wrapping existing integrations with MCP and…
Kong Insomnia 12.3 TL;DR? Your New Year’s resolution is probably something along the lines of “work smarter, not harder.” Our resolution is to make that actually possible. Insomnia 12.1 and 12.2 sharpened your tools, and now Insomnia 12.3 removes the friction to allow you to focus on building great…
The evolution of AI agents and autonomous systems has created new challenges for enterprise organizations. While securing API endpoints is well-understood, controlling access to individual AI agent tools presents a unique authorization problem. Today, we're excited to announce a powerful solution…
The enterprise AI landscape is transforming much faster than most organizations can adapt. One moment you're testing ChatGPT for customer service. The next, you're orchestrating dozens of AI agents that need secure access to databases, APIs, and multiple LLM providers. This rapid evolution creates…
In one of our posts, Kong AI/MCP Gateway and Kong MCP Server technical breakdown, we described the new capabilities added to Kong AI Gateway to support MCP (Model Context Protocol). The post focused exclusively on consuming MCP server and MCP tools through Kong MCP Gateway. Now, it's time to check…
We know that successful AI connectivity programs often start with an intense focus on how you govern and protect LLM and MCP traffic. This is why Kong was first to market with an enterprise-grade AI gateway , and it’s why, in our last release, we added enterprise MCP proxy support to our…
In the latest Kong Gateway 3.12 release , announced October 2025, specific MCP capabilities have been released: The Kong AI Gateway sits in between the AI applications we build and the MCP Servers and GenAI models we consume. In fact, the Kong MCP Gateway sits side-by-side with the Kong LLM…
A close examination of what really powers the AI prompt unveils two technologies: the large language models (LLMs) that empower agents with intelligence and the ecosystem of MCP tools to deliver capabilities to the agents. While LLMs make your agents smart, it would be hard to provide agents with…
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…
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 hype for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) has reached a boiling point. Everyone ( including Kong ) is releasing something around MCP to ensure they aren't seen as falling behind in the ever-changing AI landscape. However, in this mad dash, there remains confusion around MCP and what…
The explosion of AI-native applications is upon us. With each new week, massive innovations are being made in how AI-centric applications are being built. There are a variety of tools developers need to consider, be it supplying live contextual data via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or…
MCP is a new way to integrate LLMs and AI agents with third-party data sources and APIs. It significantly improves how we build tool integrations by eliminating duplicated code and providing a centralized interface for multiple agents to access shared tools. Today, we’re excited to announce the…
Secure your AI infrastructure with prompt guards, PII sanitization, and centralized governance. Control LLM costs with token-based rate limiting and semantic routing across providers.
