Descripción

Connects an AI assistant to Kong Konnect. You can query control planes, services, routes, consumers, consumer groups, plugins and vaults, query API request analytics with filters, and create debug sessions with active tracing to investigate performance problems. It can also search Kong documentation and create, edit and publish Dev Portal pages, snippets and Markdown Components.

The server is hosted at https://global.mcp.konghq.com/ over streamable HTTP, with regional endpoints for us, eu, au and in. Users sign in with OAuth (scopes konnect:read and konnect:write). A Konnect personal access token is also accepted. Nothing needs to be installed locally.

Qué puedes hacer

  • Query control planes, services, routes, consumers and plugins
  • Inspect consumer groups and vaults
  • Query API request analytics by time, status code, consumer, service and route
  • Create debug sessions with active tracing
  • Search Kong documentation for configuration help
  • Create, edit and publish Dev Portal pages and snippets

Herramientas

Kong Konnect solo muestra sus herramientas después de iniciar sesión, así que no podemos listarlas aquí. Tu cliente las muestra cuando te conectes.

Prompts de ejemplo

  • List the routes on my production control plane in Konnect

  • Show 5xx errors for the checkout service over the last 24 hours

  • Start a debug session with tracing on the orders route

  • Search Kong docs for how to configure rate limiting

Configuración

Todos los clientes se conectan a global.mcp.konghq.com, y la primera vez Kong te pide que inicies sesión. Elige el tuyo; la página recuerda tu elección.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http kong-konnect https://global.mcp.konghq.com/
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick kong-konnect and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Kong sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Kong Konnect and paste this URL:
https://global.mcp.konghq.com/
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Kong asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://global.mcp.konghq.com/ and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when Kong asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://global.mcp.konghq.com/ as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Kong to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kong-konnect": {
      "url": "https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"kong-konnect","type":"http","url":"https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "kong-konnect": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kong-konnect": {
      "serverUrl": "https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add kong-konnect --url https://global.mcp.konghq.com/
codex mcp login kong-konnect

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.kong-konnect]
url = "https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http kong-konnect https://global.mcp.konghq.com/

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth kong-konnect to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kong-konnect": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://global.mcp.konghq.com/"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://global.mcp.konghq.com/.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/kong-konnect into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://global.mcp.konghq.com/, so your client talks to Kong Konnect directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Kong Konnect need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Kong account. The first time your client connects, it opens Kong’s sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server’s own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Kong Konnect a remote or a local server?

Remote. Kong hosts it at https://global.mcp.konghq.com/, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There’s nothing to install.

What can Kong Konnect do?

You can query control planes, services, routes, consumers and plugins, inspect consumer groups and vaults y query API request analytics by time, status code, consumer, service and route.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc’s robot read Kong Konnect’s own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
