How do I install the mcp konnect mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `KONNECT_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `KONNECT_REGION`, `CONTROL_PLANE_ID` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Kong Konnect APIs, allowing AI assistants to query and analyze Kong Gateway configurations, traffic, and analytics.
