Kong Gateway MCP Server with 40 Tools for Claude, Cursor, and AI Agents

Connect your Kong Gateway Admin API to any AI agent and take full control of your API management lifecycle through natural conversation.

What you can do

• Services & Routes — List, create, and update upstream services and their associated routing rules to manage traffic flow.
• Consumer Management — Query and manage API consumers, allowing you to track users and applications interacting with your gateway.
• Plugin Configuration — Inspect and manage plugins for authentication, rate limiting, and logging across your services and routes.
• Upstreams & Targets — Configure load balancing by managing upstreams and their health-checked targets.
• SSL/TLS Management — List and update certificates and SNIs to ensure secure communication across your endpoints.
• System Health — Retrieve real-time status and information about your Kong instance to monitor performance.

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Kong Admin URL (and optional Admin Token)
3. Start managing your API infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more manual cURL commands or navigating complex dashboards to check a route configuration. Your AI acts as a dedicated DevOps engineer or API Architect.

Who is this for?

• DevOps Engineers — quickly check gateway status, list plugins, and verify upstream health without leaving the terminal or IDE.
• Backend Developers — create and test new services and routes instantly during the development cycle.
• API Architects — audit consumer access and plugin configurations to ensure security and compliance across the organization.
