Drive global MCP governance with the only API platform built for full-scale Model Context Protocol traffic and workflows.

MCP is quickly becoming the de facto standard for providing LLMs the context needed to enable agentic AI workflows. But its rapid rise has raised serious security, cost, and business continuity questions that need answering.

### Implement global MCP security & access control

Enforce global security policies that govern internal and external access to your MCP servers.

### Build a great agent experience

Publish MCP servers as self-serve products for [agentic AI](/blog/learning-center/agentic-ai)agentic AI consumption.

### Adopt MCP without the major price increase

Control and optimize cost structures through token throttling and semantic caching.

Automatically generate MCP servers for Konnect-managed APIs, LLMs, and event data. Ensure server creation follows best practices by offloading creation to the Gateway and leveraging APIOps for consistent policy enforcement.

Enforce global MCP access control. Then, control every downstream API interaction through authorization and security policies.

MCP and agents mean *way more* LLM token consumption, and that means much higher AI program bills. Throttle consumption with [token-based rate limiting](/blog/engineering/token-rate-limiting-and-tiered-access-for-ai-usage)token-based rate limiting and reduce overall token needs through semantic caching.

Enable internal and external agents to access the MCP servers needed to do their jobs well.

The Kong Gateway can govern and help monetize every layer of the MCP stack. This means MCP traffic monetization, LLM monetization, [API monetization](/blog/learning-center/what-is-api-monetization)API monetization, and real-time data monetization.

Stand up [analytics and observability dashboards](/products/kong-konnect/features/advanced-analytics)analytics and observability dashboards that give platform and executive teams rich insight into every MCP transaction across the business.

Automate security, cost control, business continuity, and agent experience best practices through [APIOps](/blog/enterprise/what-is-apiops)APIOps and automation.
