catalog was the only domain that split its MCP route in two: the main route on POST/DELETE, and a separate -stream route matching GET, whose only purpose was to carry a request-termination plugin answering 405 "SSE stream is not offered on this endpoint". The other four domains keep one route with GET, POST and DELETE. That opt-out is not a fix the other four missed — it gives up a feature the plugin implements. ai-mcp-proxy handles non-POST itself: its handler carries an explicit non-POST branch, MCP session handling, an SSE subscription waiting on notifications/tools/list_changed, and Accept header validation for application/json and text/event-stream. GET is the server-to-client channel of MCP Streamable HTTP, and on the other four domains it reaches the plugin and works. Nothing in git or in any comment records why catalog gave it up, and the plugin and binding behind it were applied by hand three days after the route landed — they were never in git at all. So on a cluster rebuilt from git the split had no guard behind it: GET fell through to a route with no plugin whose service points back at the gateway itself. Drop the stream route and put GET back on the MCP route, so the five domains are identical again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
catalog-api
Kong routing/policy layer for the catalog slice of classic-models-api
(see /Users/stephanetailland/git/classic-models-api), split out per the
DDD decomposition in ../kong-konnect-deployment-strategy.md. The backend
itself stays a single monolith — only Kong does the domain split.
Two exposure surfaces of the same API, both proxying to the real
classic-models-api backend:
- REST (
kong/rest/) — 14 routes covering products/productlines. - MCP (
kong/mcp/) — the same catalog exposed as MCP tools (list-products,get-product,create-productso far; extending to the rest is mechanical), viaai-mcp-proxy.
Auth
openid-connect on both surfaces, with a distinct audience each
(catalog-api for REST, mcp-catalog for MCP) and a real RFC 8693 token
exchange chain: MCP → catalog-api → classic-models-api (REST's own
exchange target), narrowing the token before it ever reaches the backend —
the backend never sees a token minted for a different audience.
consumer_claims/consumer_by map the JWT sub to a Kong Consumer for
per-consumer rate limiting; consumer_groups_claim maps realm roles to
Kong Consumer Groups for MCP's per-tool ACLs.
Other policies
Per-consumer + API-level rate limiting, response caching (GET/HEAD),
audit log (http-log, endpoint still a placeholder — no real log
collector in this lab).
