# Govern all AI traffic. Do it with one gateway.

Govern LLM, MCP, and agent-to-agent (A2A) traffic with the same Kong AI Gateway.

## WITHOUT KONG

## Fragmented API & AI traffic

## WITH KONG

## APIs. LLMs. Agents. One platform for API and AI traffic.

## Build agents faster. Optimize token spend. Mitigate AI risks.

### LLM governance

Govern how developers, apps, and agents consume LLMs. Control everything from access, to data leakage, to token usage.

### MCP governance

Generate MCP servers and govern how agents discover and consume them. Optimize context and implement critical auth solutions for production-ready MCP.

[Learn more](/solutions/mcp-governance)Learn more
### Agent-to-agent governance

Roll out an agent gateway to fully govern *all *multi-agent traffic, with auth, observability, and auditability baked-in.

[Learn more](/agent-gateway)Learn more
### All in one enterprise-ready platform

Don’t settle for fragmented AI gateway solutions, and don’t settle for solutions that aren’t hardened for enterprise usage. Unify all AI traffic in one secure, resilient platform.

## The agentic era demands a new kind of agentic infrastructure

Govern all generative AI and agentic AI traffic with a single gateway for LLM, MCP, and A2A connectivity.

## 01/ Control, manage, and secure gen AI traffic

## Enforce advanced LLM policies

  • - Stop data leakage and avoid compliance nightmares with PII sanitization.
  • - Make LLM traffic more efficient with semantic caching, routing, and load balancing.
  • - Protect resources and ensure compliance with semantic prompt guards, access control, and more.

## 02/ MCP-ready. Prod-ready.

## Make MCP-powered agents a production reality

  • - Automatically generate intelligent MCP tools and servers on top of Kong-managed APIs.
  • - Enforce auth for MCP server access control.
  • - Optimize token spend through MCP context optimization.

## 03/ Multi-agent ready

## Govern complex, multi-agent systems

  • - Observe all A2A traffic and capture A2A-specific metrics.
  • - Capture detailed telemetry on every A2A call, including payloads, latency, token usage, and errors.
  • - Enforce centralized AuthN/Z for all A2A traffic.
  • - Audit and track every A2A RPC call with information around caller identity, capabilities invoked, and more.

## 04/ Govern the rest of the AI data path, too

## Because AI traffic is more than just AI-native traffic

  • - Govern how agents consume context from your API and event data estate.
  • - Observe and govern the application, intelligence, and context layers – all from one platform.
  • - Deliver enterprise data, events, APIs and agent-ready context.

## 05/ AI quota management

## Advanced LLM and token quota management

  • - Set up user, model, and time-bound quotas around LLM consumption and token spend.
  • - Enforce quotes at the gateway level.
  • - Build showback and chargeback for LLM, agent, and MCP usage across the enterprise.

## 06/ AI metrics and observability

## L7 observability on AI traffic for cost monitoring and tuning

  • - Track AI consumption, tool usage, token spend, and more.
  • - Optimize AI usage and cost with predictive consumption models.
  • - Debug AI exposure via logging, tracing, and more.

## 07/ Multi-LLM support

## Ensure every LLM use case is covered

  • - Use Kong’s unified API interface to  work with multiple different AI providers at the flip of a switch.
  • - Seamlessly switch between AI providers to unlock new use cases and ensure high availability in the event of downtime.
