Finance loves it because it’s cost savings that can be easily represented as a budget line item.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming a foundational layer for AI systems. It enables large language models and AI agents to interact with external tools and data sources over standardized JSON-RPC interfaces. By doing so, MCP transforms how intelligent applications consume APIs. Reading local files, controlling IoT devices, orchestrating backend workflows—MCP servers act as structured gateways between AI and your business logic.

This is part one of a series exploring how Kong AI Gateway can be used in an AI Agent development with LangGraph. The series comprises three parts.
