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.

List all services currently configured in Kong.

I've retrieved the services. You have 3 services configured: 'billing-api', 'users-service', and 'inventory-proxy'. Would you like to see the details for any of them?

Create a new service named 'auth-api' pointing to 'http://auth.internal'.

Service 'auth-api' has been successfully created with ID '8273-abc-123'. It is configured to point to 'http://auth.internal' on port 80. Should I create a route for this service now?

What is the current status of my Kong Gateway node?

The Kong node is healthy. Database is reachable, and there are currently 124 active connections. The server has been up for 14 days.

You can use the `get_status` tool. It will return the current status of the Kong node, including database connectivity and server metrics.
