Architecture

Internal architecture documentation for contributors and extenders.

Camel-Kit combines two mechanisms to give AI agents accurate, efficient access to the Apache Camel ecosystem:

1. Skills — bundled component documentation loaded on-demand during implementation (complete schemas, usage patterns)
2. MCP Server — real-time queries against the live Camel catalog during design and validation (lightweight, always current)

Together they achieve 99% reduction in context usage compared to loading all 396 component catalogs.
