Built on the same foundation trusted by industry leaders
Top industry giants and governments rely on KrakenD. Join them and experience unparalleled performance and reliability.
The engineering approach to AI gateway
AI Governance is 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.
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.
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.
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.
