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.
Wanaku is an MCP router that sits between AI clients and backend services. Instead of each client connecting to many servers directly, it presents a single endpoint and routes incoming requests through a filter pipeline, providing namespace isolation, tool management and MCP-to-MCP forwarding. Its most distinctive feature is the bridge role: a remote MCP server is registered as a forward with a name and an address, its tools are discovered automatically and appear in the local catalogue, and the connecting client cannot tell they come from elsewhere. A refresh call rediscovers tools from a forward when the upstream changes. Namespaces let tools, resources and prompts be organised into isolated groups, addressed as a path segment on the MCP endpoint. The router exposes three surfaces in the default layout: the MCP protocol endpoint, a management REST API providing create, read, update and delete operations over tools, resources, prompts, forwards and namespaces, and a web admin dashboard for the same objects. Forwards can be preloaded at startup from a wanaku.yaml file, or the server can start empty and be populated over the API. Authentication is optional and handled outside the process by oauth2-proxy with Keycloak, with one proxy in front of the MCP port for any authenticated user and another in front of the management port requiring an admin role; the router itself serves RFC 9728 OAuth protected resource metadata so clients can discover the authorisation server. Extensibility comes from a plugin system of feature crates and the composable filter pipeline, with a WebAssembly-based evaluator engine documented separately. It is distributed as an install script for Linux and macOS, as multi-architecture container images for x86_64 and aarch64, or built from source. The project is Apache 2.0 licensed and has a documentation site with a guided tutorial.
