konnect-api-publish

konnect-api-publish is a skill for Claude Code from Kong/ai-marketplace. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for publishing managed APIs through Kong Konnect, a cloud platform for managing and exposing APIs. It follows an API from management through the catalog and developer portal to the intended audience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and trace API publication, make publication-related changes with the repository's chosen tools, validate the result, and identify when catalog modeling or application authentication needs a different workflow.
Why use it?
It helps find why an API that exists is not visible to the right developers. It separates catalog readiness, portal publication, audience access, and related configuration problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

konnect-api-publish scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Konnect API publish workflow

Goal

Help an operator trace why an API is not reaching the intended developer audience, from managed API presence through catalog readiness and portal publication.

Use workflow language: inspect, trace, publish, validate, and approve. Do not turn this into generic Portal documentation. This skill owns publication-chain diagnosis, not generic Catalog authoring or developer application auth design.

Tool Selection

  • Use the shared kong-konnect MCP server first for live inspection of managed API, catalog, and portal state.
  • Use kongctl-query for read-only checks on API, portal, and adjacent resources.
  • Preserve the repository's chosen declarative toolchain when publication resources need to change: prefer kongctl-declarative for kongctl YAML, terraform-konnect for HCL-managed Konnect resources, and deck-gateway only when the missing link is in Gateway-entity config within the target control plane.
  • Hand off to konnect-api-catalog when the real problem is API object modeling, versioning, specification quality, or package readiness rather than publication.
  • Hand off to konnect-app-auth once publication is proven and the remaining issue is developer registration, approval, credential issuance, or auth strategy selection.
  • If live Konnect state matters and kong-konnect MCP is not connected, say so early and continue with CLI or user-provided artifacts.

Default to read-first inspection. Only move to mutation when the missing link in the publication chain is understood.

References To Load

Load only the reference file that matches the active branch:

  • references/publication-chain.md
    • Load when "not published" is underspecified and you need to separate managed API presence, catalog readiness, portal publication, and consumer use.
  • references/portal-visibility-vs-access.md
    • Load when an API may be published but still not visible, discoverable, or usable by the intended audience.
  • references/downstream-auth-handoffs.md
    • Load when the real issue shifts from publication into developer app auth, registration, approval, or credential flow ownership.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
