Kong MCP Registry: Connect AI Agents with the Right Tools
Blog post from Kong
The Kong MCP Registry is a newly announced platform designed to enhance AI and API management by acting as a central directory for AI agents to access necessary services and tools efficiently. It integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing a centralized service registry that enables scalable and secure discovery of AI tools across organizations, addressing challenges like fragmented discovery, inconsistent security, and lack of visibility. By leveraging Kong's existing API management capabilities, the MCP Registry ensures that AI-driven applications benefit from enterprise-grade governance, discoverability, and access control. The registry supports the seamless integration of AI context with traditional APIs, promoting a unified approach to building, running, discovering, and governing digital services, and aims to standardize AI service discovery while optimizing performance and cost management.
