What is the Kong Gateway MCP Server?
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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Kong Admin URL (and optional Admin Token)
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How can I check if my Kong Gateway instance is running correctly?
You can use the get_status tool. It will return the current status of the Kong node, including database connectivity and server metrics.
Can I list all the plugins currently enabled on my gateway?
Yes! Use the list_plugins tool to retrieve a complete list of all configured plugins across your entire Kong instance.
Is it possible to create a new service and its route through the AI?
Absolutely. You can use create_service to define your upstream and then create_route to specify how traffic should reach that service.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
