Summary

Kong has introduced a new suite of Konnect MCP support and products, including an enterprise-grade MCP Gateway and additional workflow support in the Konnect Developer Portal, alongside the new MCP Composer. These innovations aim to streamline API access and integration for AI coding tools and agents, enabling seamless interaction with APIs directly from development environments. The Konnect Developer Portal can now be transformed into an MCP server, facilitating API discovery and access through natural language, significantly enhancing developer velocity by reducing the time to generate production-ready client code. Additionally, Kong has launched KAi, an agentic assistant designed to automate tasks like API governance, debugging, and design, further leveraging AI for enterprise automation. Looking ahead, Kong plans to replace traditional integration patterns with MCP-powered solutions, including the upcoming AI Composer and AI Runner, which will allow organizations to design and run AI-powered integrations, positioning Konnect as the future platform for API and AI connectivity.
