## Overview

> **⚠️ Deprecated:** This project is no longer maintained. The information below is preserved for reference only.

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Kong Konnect's API Gateway. It offers a set of tools to query analytics data, inspect configuration details, and manage control planes through natural language conversation.

Key features:
- Query API request analytics with customizable filters
- List and inspect gateway services, routes, consumers, and plugins
- Manage control planes and control plane groups
- Integration with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants

## Installation

> **Note:** As this project is deprecated, no support is provided for installation issues.

### Prerequisites
- Node.js 20 or higher
- A Kong Konnect account with API access
- A client with MCP capabilities (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc...)

### Setup

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Kong/mcp-konnect.git
cd mcp-konnect

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the test suite (also rebuilds compiled output)
npm test

# Rebuild the committed build artifacts after changing src/
npm run build
```

The repository includes committed files under `build/` as part of its distribution model. If you modify files in `src/`, regenerate `build/` before committing or publishing changes.

## Configuration

Set the following environment variables to configure the MCP server:

```bash
# Required: Your Kong Konnect API key
export KONNECT_ACCESS_TOKEN=kpat_api_key_here

# Optional: The API region to use (defaults to US)
# Possible values: US, EU, AU, ME, IN
export KONNECT_REGION=us
```

```

#### List Consumers
List all consumers associated with a control plane.

```
Inputs:
- controlPlaneId: Control plane ID
- size: Number of consumers to return
- offset: Pagination offset token
```

#### List Plugins
List all plugins associated with a control plane.

```
Inputs:
- controlPlaneId: Control plane ID
- size: Number of plugins to return
- offset: Pagination offset token
- includeRawConfig: Set to true to include raw plugin configuration values (defaults to false)
```

### Control Planes Tools

#### List Control Planes
List all control planes in your organization.

```
Inputs:

```
Inputs:
- controlPlaneId: Control plane ID to retrieve
```

#### List Control Plane Group Memberships
List all control planes that are members of a specific group.

```
Inputs:
- groupId: Control plane group ID
- pageSize: Number of members to return per page
- pageAfter: Cursor for pagination
```

#### Check Control Plane Group Membership
Check if a control plane is a member of any group.

```

## Usage with Claude

> **Note:** This configuration is provided for historical reference. No support is available for setup issues.

To use this MCP server with Claude for Desktop:

1. Install [Claude for Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)
2. Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
   - MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
   - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

3. Add the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kong-konnect": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-konnect/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KONNECT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "kpat_api_key_here",
        "KONNECT_REGION": "us"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

4. Restart Claude for Desktop
5. The Kong Konnect tools will now be available for Claude to use

## Example Workflows

### Analyzing API Traffic

1. First, list all control planes:
   ```
   Please list all control planes in my Kong Konnect organization.
   ```

2. Then, list services for a specific control plane:
   ```
   List all services for control plane [CONTROL_PLANE_ID].
   ```
   
3. Query API requests for a specific service:
   ```
   Show me all API requests for service [SERVICE_NAME/ID] in the last hour that had 5xx status codes.
   ```

### Troubleshooting Consumer Issues

1. List consumers for a control plane:
   ```
   List all consumers for control plane [CONTROL_PLANE_ID].
   ```

2. Analyze requests for a specific consumer:
   ```
   Show me all requests made by consumer [CONSUMER_NAME/ID] in the last 24 hours.
   ```

3. Check for common errors or patterns:
   ```
   What are the most common errors experienced by this consumer?
   ```

## Development
