"According to Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong, organizations can reuse their existing API investments. "Organizations have spent years building APIs as the nervous system of the enterprise. Context Mesh allows them to reuse that investment to power agents instead of starting from scratch," said Palladino. He emphasizes that the goal is to help customers move from experimenting with agents to reliable operations at scale."
"Context Mesh leverages knowledge that the Kong Konnect platform already manages about enterprise environments, including endpoints, schemas, authentication requirements, and policies. The system provides automatic detection of all APIs under management, capabilities to select precise context for specific agents, and instant Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool definitions with correct schemas and built-in authentication. The generated toolkits are deployed directly to the Kong AI Gateway, with policies enforced at runtime. Existing Kong security automatically extends to agent tooling."
"Each toolkit generated by Context Mesh registers with the Kong Konnect MCP Registry for discovery and reuse across the enterprise. This gives developers a single place to find both APIs and agent tools. The system can define conditional policies and orchestration logic, including rate limiting, conditional routing, and data transformation. By eliminating manual integration work, Context Mesh can help organizations reduce weeks of API inventory and mapping effort."
Kong Context Mesh automatically discovers enterprise APIs managed by Kong Konnect and converts them into agent tools with instant Model Context Protocol (MCP) definitions, correct schemas, and built-in authentication. The generated toolkits deploy directly to the Kong AI Gateway, where existing Kong policies and security enforce runtime governance. Context Mesh leverages Konnect metadata such as endpoints, schemas, authentication requirements, and policies to select precise context for specific agents. Each toolkit registers with the Konnect MCP Registry for enterprise discovery and reuse, supporting conditional policies, rate limiting, routing, and data transformation. The solution reduces manual API inventory work, preserves prior API investments, and is available in tech preview for Konnect.
