Kong Konnect MCP Server

Static Badge

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Kong Konnect APIs, allowing AI assistants to query and analyze Kong Gateway configurations, traffic, and analytics.

Overview

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Kong Konnect's API Gateway. It offers a set of tools to query analytics data, inspect configuration details, and manage control planes through natural language conversation.

Key features:

  • Query API request analytics with customizable filters
  • List and inspect gateway services, routes, consumers, and plugins
  • Manage control planes and control plane groups
  • Integration with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants

Konnect MCP is a work in progress and we will be adding additional functionality and improvements with each release.

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20 or higher
  • A Kong Konnect account with API access
  • A client with MCP capabilities (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc...)

Setup

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/Kong/mcp-konnect.git cd mcp-konnect # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build

Configuration

Set the following environment variables to configure the MCP server:

# Required: Your Kong Konnect API key export KONNECT_ACCESS_TOKEN=kpat_api_key_here # Optional: The API region to use (defaults to US) # Possible values: US, EU, AU, ME, IN export KONNECT_REGION=us

Available Tools

The server provides tools organized in three categories:

Analytics Tools

Query API Requests

Query and analyze Kong API Gateway requests with customizable filters.

Inputs: - timeRange: Time range for data retrieval (15M, 1H, 6H, 12H, 24H, 7D) - statusCodes: Filter by specific HTTP status codes - excludeStatusCodes: Exclude specific HTTP status codes - httpMethods: Filter by HTTP methods - consumerIds: Filter by consumer IDs - serviceIds: Filter by service IDs - routeIds: Filter by route IDs - maxResults: Maximum number of results to return
Get Consumer Requests

Analyze API requests made by a specific consumer.

Inputs: - consumerId: ID of the consumer to analyze - timeRange: Time range for data retrieval - successOnly: Show only successful (2xx) requests - failureOnly: Show only failed (non-2xx) requests - maxResults: Maximum number of results to return

Configuration Tools

List Services

List all services associated with a control plane.

Inputs: - controlPlaneId: ID of the control plane - size: Number of services to return - offset: Pagination offset token
List Routes

List all routes associated with a control plane.

Inputs: - controlPlaneId: ID of the control plane - size: Number of routes to return - offset: Pagination offset token
List Consumers

List all consumers associated with a control plane.

Inputs: - controlPlaneId: ID of the control plane - size: Number of consumers to return - offset: Pagination offset token

Inputs: - controlPlaneId: ID of the control plane to retrieve
List Control Plane Group Memberships

List all control planes that are members of a specific group.

Inputs: - groupId: Control plane group ID - pageSize: Number of members to return per page - pageAfter: Cursor for pagination
Check Control Plane Group Membership

Check if a control plane is a member of any group.

Inputs: - controlPlaneId: Control plane ID to check

Usage with Claude

To use this MCP server with Claude for Desktop:

  1. Install Claude for Desktop
  2. Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
    • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  3. Add the following configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "kong-konnect": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/mcp-konnect/build/index.js" ], "env": { "KONNECT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "kpat_api_key_here", "KONNECT_REGION": "us" } } } }
  1. Restart Claude for Desktop
  2. The Kong Konnect tools will now be available for Claude to use

Example Workflows

Analyzing API Traffic

  1. First, list all control planes:
    Please list all control planes in my Kong Konnect organization.
  2. Then, list services for a specific control plane:
    List all services for control plane [CONTROL_PLANE_NAME/ID].
  3. Query API requests for a specific service:
    Show me all API requests for service [SERVICE_NAME/ID] in the last hour that had 5xx status codes.

Troubleshooting Consumer Issues

  1. List consumers for a control plane:
    List all consumers for control plane [CONTROL_PLANE_NAME/ID].
  2. Analyze requests for a specific consumer:
    Show me all requests made by consumer [CONSUMER_NAME/ID] in the last 24 hours.
  3. Check for common errors or patterns:
    What are the most common errors experienced by this consumer?

Development

Adding New Tools

  1. Define the parameters in parameters.ts
  2. Add documentation in prompts.ts
  3. Create the operation logic in the appropriate file in operations/
  4. Register the tool in tools.ts
  5. Handle the tool execution in index.ts

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Errors

  • Verify your API key is valid and has the necessary permissions
  • Check that the API region is correctly specified
  • Ensure your network can connect to the Kong Konnect API

Authentication Errors

  • Regenerate your API key in the Kong Konnect portal
  • Check that environment variables are correctly set

Data Not Found

  • Verify the IDs used in requests are correct
  • Check that the resources exist in the specified control plane
  • Ensure time ranges are valid for analytics queries
