Use Kong Reviews from your AI assistant
Add one address to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code. Your assistant can then plan the stack, price a change before it writes the code, keep setup on track and explain your bill, with the source and date behind every price. It needs a free Kong Reviews account: your AI app opens the sign-in when you add it.
Server address
https://kongreviews.com/mcp (remote MCP over Streamable HTTP; sign-in by OAuth when a tool needs your projects).
Add it to your AI app
- Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the address.
- ChatGPT: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → Developer mode, then Create with the address and OAuth.

What to ask it
- Plan a new app
- "What should my booking app for yoga studios run on, and what will it cost at 20,000 users?" recommend_stack and plan_stack: one service per job, the cost now and at forecast, each price's source and date, and what was assumed.
- Continue a project
- "Continue my booking app." get_project_context: the saved plan, requirements, services, users, setup progress and bills, without repeating them. Similar names are asked about, never guessed.
- Price a change before building it
- "Before we add SMS reminders, what will they cost?" price_change: before and after at the same users, must-haves it would break, options using what you already have. accept_change keeps it once you agree.
- Set it up, one step at a time
- "Help me set this stack up. Where did I get to?" get_build_pack and record_setup_progress: KONG.md, .env.example with variable names only, and each step's state with your evidence.
- Explain the bill
- "Why did my bill go up last month?" explain_bill: bills next to the estimate for the same month, causes the records show, guesses labelled as such, and what is missing.
- Audit an app that is running
- "Audit this repo: what does it run on, and what should we change?" detect_stack and audit_stack: the services found, a grade, the cost now and in 12 months, and what to keep or change.
