Securing, Observing, and Governing MCP Servers with Kong AI Gateway
Blog post from Kong
The rapid development of AI-native applications is marked by continuous innovations in building AI-centric solutions, involving various tools such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A) for streamlining communication in agentic applications. These applications involve interactions between multiple entities, including user-facing interfaces, autonomous agents, MCP servers, and large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI and Bedrock. Integrating these components presents challenges such as managing authentication, enforcing rate limits, and ensuring detailed observability while maintaining flexibility and security against misuse. Kong's AI Gateway offers an enterprise-grade solution designed to address these challenges by securing and governing the connectivity between AI-native applications.
