Model Context Protocol

The Standard That Lets AI Agents Call Your APIs.

It defines how AI agents discover and call external tools. The agent asks "what can I do?", the MCP server responds with a list of tools, and the agent calls them. KrakenD is an API gateway with a built-in MCP Server, so your existing infrastructure becomes the bridge between your APIs and any AI agent.

Model Context Protocol meets KrakenD

Instant connectivity

A single config block in KrakenD turns any endpoint into an MCP tool. No code, no new service.

Full governance

Rate limits, auth, and quotas apply to agent calls exactly as they do to API calls.

Complete observability

Agent actions appear in your existing logs, traces, and metrics. Nothing new to wire up.

Zero disruption

Your backend never knows an AI agent called it. KrakenD handles the translation.

KrakenD + MCP: New Business Capabilities

What AI Agents Can Do With Your APIs.

These are illustrative scenarios of what becomes possible when KrakenD exposes your APIs as MCP tools. AI agents can act on them directly, with no new integration layer and no changes to your backend.

E-government

Citizens ask about permits, subsidies, or tax status in plain language. The AI queries government APIs through KrakenD with role-based access and full audit logging, no new portal needed.

Open banking

When a transaction looks suspicious, an AI agent cross-checks device fingerprint, location, and spending history APIs in milliseconds. KrakenD enforces auth and rate limits on every call, no new layer needed.

E-commerce

An AI agent detects a high-value cart abandonment, checks inventory and discount APIs, and sends a personalized offer in real time, all orchestrated through KrakenD without new infrastructure.

KrakenD: The API Gateway Advantage

MCP Built In. Not Bolted On.

A standalone MCP server solves one problem by creating three. With KrakenD, MCP is already there, same gateway, same policies, zero new infrastructure.

Production-Grade From Day One

Built on Infrastructure Proven in Production Since 2016.

Most MCP solutions entered the market in 2024. KrakenD's MCP Server runs on top of a gateway that has been processing mission-critical API traffic in regulated industries for nearly a decade.

Not a new gateway built for the AI hype. Built on infrastructure already trusted in production environments, so teams can adopt AI without introducing untested components into their architecture.

VS. Other Solutions Production-grade from day one, not SaaS tooling.

Your data, your infrastructure, your rules. Deploy on-premise, on any cloud, or in air-gapped environments. No vendor lock-in, no SaaS dependency.

VS. Other Solutions Your traffic stays in your infrastructure.

One set of rules for APIs and AI. Auth, rate limiting, observability and governance applied consistently across all traffic, with no duplication.

VS. Other Solutions One config, not two separate stacks to maintain.

KrakenD has been processing mission-critical API traffic in production environments for nearly a decade. Not a new product built for the AI hype.

VS. Other Solutions Most AI gateways were launched in 2023 or later.

Used by global enterprises, financial institutions, and high-regulation industries where failure is not an option.

VS. Other Solutions Unproven products don't get deployed in mission-critical environments.

Security, availability, and confidentiality independently audited and certified. The same standards your APIs already run on, now extended for AI workloads.

VS. Other Solutions Not all AI gateways have passed independent security audits.
