Summary

Kong has introduced a Portal MCP Server that provides each Dev Portal with a governed, AI-native way for agents to discover and read API documentation and specifications without scraping browser-oriented HTML. Enabled through a single per-portal toggle, the server preserves existing authentication, role-based authorization, and content restrictions, ensuring agents access only the same material available to the developers they represent. OAuth 2.0 connections using Authorization Code with PKCE allow tools such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and custom applications to connect through standard flows, with controls for trusted clients and approved redirect URLs. The release builds on related Dev Portal capabilities, including Markdown versions of pages for cleaner model consumption, write access through the existing Kong Konnect MCP Server for creating and publishing portal content, and the general availability of the Dev Portal Toolkit VS Code extension for local content previews.
