List entities of a given type from the Kong Admin API (GET on a collection). Supports filtering by tags and offset pagination. Use fetch_all to automatically follow pagination and return every item.

Fetch a single entity by id or name (GET //). Many Kong entities accept either their UUID or their unique name/slug as the id.

Create a new entity (POST /). Pass the entity body as data. Example: entity='services', data={ name:'example', url:'http://httpbin.org' }. Tip: use kong_plugin_schema first when creating plugins to get valid config fields.

Partially update an entity (PATCH //). Only the fields supplied in data are changed.

Create or replace an entity at a known id/name (PUT //). Creates it if absent, fully replaces it if present.

Delete an entity (DELETE //). Returns HTTP 204 on success.

Make an arbitrary request to any Kong Admin API endpoint. Use this for anything the CRUD tools don't cover: nested relations, RBAC, keyring, schemas, /status, /config (DB-less), bulk operations, etc. Examples: GET /status, GET /schemas/plugins/rate-limiting, POST /config (declarative), GET /services//routes.

Get general node information (GET /): version, configuration, hostname, plugins available on the server, and database mode.

Get node health and metrics (GET /status): database reachability, connection counts, and memory usage.

List all workspaces (Enterprise). Equivalent to GET /workspaces.

Fetch the configuration schema for a plugin (GET /schemas/plugins/). Use this before creating/updating a plugin to learn the valid config fields and their types/defaults. Example name: 'rate-limiting', 'key-auth', 'cors', 'jwt', 'acl'.

Show the current Kong Admin API connection settings (admin URL, default workspace, whether a token is set). The token value is masked.

Override the Kong Admin API connection at runtime for this session: the admin URL, admin token (Kong-Admin-Token), default workspace, and TLS verification. Only the fields you pass are changed. Persist settings across restarts via the KONG_ADMIN_URL / KONG_ADMIN_TOKEN / KONG_WORKSPACE environment variables in your MCP client config.
