The engineering approach to AI gateway

AI Governance is just API Governance, and we’re API Experts.

Zero hype. Just control. With KrakenD AI gateway govern AI like any other API: zero overhead, full visibility, and total reliability.

AI Gateway

MCP Server for AI Agents

Your APIs, AI-ready. No Code Changes.

Turn natural language into real, secure system actions through the APIs you already run on KrakenD. KrakenD MCP Server allows you to automatically bridge your existing APIs and services with AI systems, enabling AI Agents to query, act, and automate.

The GitOps Oriented AI Gateway

Built the KrakenD Way.

GitOps Oriented. Stateless. Declarative. No vendor lock-in.

Universal LLM API: AI gateway

One API endpoint. Unlimited LLM providers. Transform requests and responses on-the-fly to work with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and more.

  • Provider-agnostic: Switch LLMs without changing code.
  • Prompt Templates: Pre-built formats for each vendor's API.
  • Request/response normalization: Same interface, any provider.
Universal LLM API: AI gateway

LLM Router: AI Governance

Distribute AI requests across multiple LLM providers based on dynamic conditions. Route by user tier, request content, or token quotas.

  • Smart conditional routing: Headers, JWT claims, or path-based rules.
  • Token quota management: Automatic failover when limits are reached.
  • Provider flexibility: OpenAI for premium, Llama for standard users.
LLM Router: AI Governance

Built-in MCP Server: Agent Gateway

Run a full MCP server directly in KrakenD. Not just a proxy: build real MCP tools that compose data from multiple APIs with full gateway capabilities.

  • True MCP implementation: Not just another reverse proxy.
  • Multi-API composition Tools can aggregate data from multiple sources.
  • Full KrakenD power: Rate limiting, auth, transformations on every tool.

AI Security & Guardrails

Define what’s allowed. Filter what’s not. Keep your prompt injection drama offline. All API security plus:

  • Prompt Policy Enforcement: Detect prompt injection, data leaks, or unsafe content before it reaches your LLM.
  • Prompt validation templates: Standardize prompt structures and validation rules across teams and projects.
  • Conditional routing: Redirect or reject requests dynamically based on security scans.

The AI Gateway of the Future, Now

Why now? Why KrakenD?

AI traffic is exploding. So are costs, hallucinations, and shadow IT. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 70% of multi-LLM stacks will rely on AI Gateway capabilities. Today, only 5% do.

KrakenD closes that gap with proven engineering and real governance:

Explosion of AI Traffic

LLM usage is skyrocketing. Every request now carries cost, compliance, and context and you need a gateway that can manage it all.

Fragmented LLM Landscape

OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral... the ecosystem changes monthly. KrakenD makes switching providers or mixing them effortless without no code rewrites.

Governance is Non-negotiable

Enterprise teams demand control: routing, quotas, auditability, and prompt policies. KrakenD turns chaos into compliance with built-in AI governance.

Security Must Come first

Prompt injection, data leaks, unsafe outputs… all blocked at the edge. Define your guardrails once, enforce them everywhere.

Proven Gateway Foundation

The same high-performance engine that powers mission-critical APIs now extends to AI traffic, agents, and LLMs.

Developer Velocity is Everything

AI success depends on iteration speed. KrakenD empowers teams to deploy, test, and secure AI endpoints in minutes.
