# What is an AI Gateway? Governance for LLMs, Agents, and MCP

*86% of organizations are blind to their own AI data flows. See how Kong AI Gateway governs every model, every agent, and every MCP server — without slowing anyone down.*

Every team wiring LLMs into production hits the same three walls: speed, cost, risk. Custom integrations take weeks to ship and days to debug. Token spend balloons with no chargeback. PII leaks into prompts with no one watching.

Kong AI Gateway is the multi-model control plane that fixes this — one governance layer across your LLM estate, your MCP servers, and your agent-to-agent traffic.

This datasheet shows the architecture, the numbers, and what changes once governance stops being a compliance checkbox and starts being infrastructure.
