Kong Launches Context Mesh for API Discovery and Governance
Kong announced Context Mesh on February 10, 2026, automatically discovering enterprise APIs and transforming them into agent-consumable tools with runtime governance.
Kong unveiled Context Mesh on February 10, 2026, addressing the challenge of connecting AI agents to enterprise data scattered across APIs, event streams, and applications with different schemas, credentials, and access rules.
Automated API-to-Agent Transformation
Context Mesh automatically discovers enterprise APIs, transforms them into agent-consumable tooling, and deploys those tools with runtime governance. The platform eliminates manual integration work for every data source, accelerating agentic AI projects while reducing risk. Organizations can expose existing APIs to AI agents without rebuilding integration layers.
Enterprise-Wide Discovery and Reuse
Every toolkit generated through Context Mesh registers in the Kong Konnect MCP Registry for enterprise-wide discovery and reuse. Developers gain a centralized location to find both APIs and agent tools, promoting consistency and preventing duplicate integration efforts across teams.
End-to-End Governance
When combined with Kong MCP Registry and Kong AI Gateway, the platform delivers comprehensive governance for organizations transitioning from API-first to agent-first architectures. Context Mesh is available in tech preview for Konnect deployments, with general availability planned for later in 2026.
