Summary

Kong's AI Gateway addresses the challenges of integrating Enterprise-Managed Authorization (EMA) across Model Context Protocol (MCP) environments by acting as a bridge between clients and servers that are not yet EMA-ready. The introduction of the id-jag-relay plugin enables Kong to handle Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant (ID-JAG) exchanges, upgrading existing credentials and ensuring seamless connectivity without altering client or server architectures. This setup allows enterprises to centralize access policies at the Identity Provider (IdP) level, enhancing security and governance by maintaining an unbroken delegation chain and providing a comprehensive audit trail. By positioning itself at the network layer, Kong facilitates real-time visibility, reduces vulnerabilities, and accelerates the adoption of EMA, supporting a gradual transition for organizations with diverse technological infrastructures.
