Kong Gateway is a cloud-native, scalable API gateway that manages API, AI LLM, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic with advanced security, observability, and extensibility features.
OpenAPI Tool Servers is a project that provides reference implementations and bridging tools to integrate OpenAPI-based tool servers with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The goal is to enable secure, standardized APIs for AI applications and workflows by leveraging the widely adopted OpenAPI specification. This eliminates the need for proprietary or unfamiliar communication protocols, allowing developers to quickly build or integrate servers with minimal learning curve. The project emphasizes the use of OpenAPI due to its established standard, ease of integration and hosting, strong security focus, and long-term community support. The repository includes several reference server implementations demonstrating common use cases such as filesystem access, Git repository management, persistent memory and knowledge graph querying, weather data provision, user profile information retrieval, SQL database interaction with natural language query generation, and external Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tool integration. These examples are designed to be easily adaptable to different technology stacks. Additionally, the project offers optional bridging tools to convert MCP servers to OpenAPI-compatible APIs and vice versa. This interoperability allows developers to expose MCP tools as OpenAPI APIs using tools like mcpo or a Python-based proxy server, and also to expose OpenAPI tool servers as MCP servers using community-maintained projects. This two-way bridge simplifies tool architecture and empowers developers to choose the most efficient and future-proof infrastructure without compromising compatibility. The project is open for community contributions to expand the ecosystem of OpenAPI tool servers, promoting an open, composable API environment for AI tools. It is licensed under the MIT License and supported by the Open WebUI community, which encourages discussions and feedback through their GitHub discussions page.
