Kong Catalog: One Inventory for all API and AI Interface
Blog post from Kong
Kong has launched the generally available evolution of its Service Catalog into Kong Catalog, expanding its existing API discovery, documentation, versioning, and lifecycle governance capabilities to cover AI models, MCP servers, agents, event streams, and APIs across clouds and gateway environments. The platform is positioned as a centralized system of record intended to address growing AI infrastructure sprawl, allowing teams to identify available interfaces, their owners, and their suitability for reuse or development. AI models and MCP servers are available as first-class catalog entities, agents are currently in beta with general availability planned, and documentation and versioning capabilities for AI entities are expected to follow. Kong also highlights KAi-powered semantic search, which enables users to find resources through natural-language queries. The company contrasts its cloud- and gateway-agnostic approach with provider-specific AI registries and notes that the prior Service Catalog will remain supported without an end-of-life date, although it will receive no new functionality and some features are being redesigned for the expanded API and AI scope.
