Every agent has to name this client in the audience scopes it requests, so the one thing an agent cannot avoid naming was the very thing it should know nothing about. The gateway is replaceable; the contract should not say otherwise. token-exchange-broker, same credential, same behaviour. The old client stays in the realm until every consumer has moved.

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).
