An API token reaches four surfaces: the supply-chain and supplier-questionnaire REST endpoints, the read-only employee lifecycle (JML) endpoints, and the MCP server for AI clients. Everything else answers 403 by design — start with API Tokens and the Access Model.
Start here
- API TokensCreate, store, rotate and revoke AutoCISO API tokens for CI pipelines, scripts and AI clients, and choose a safe expiry for each scope.
- Access Model & ScopesWhat an AutoCISO API token can reach, the eight original scopes, the nine newer read scopes, who may grant each, and what each grants, how the plan gates every call, and which actions stay human-only — with the full REST and MCP scope matrices.
- Errors & Rate LimitsThe REST response envelope, every error code an API token can receive, and the rate limits that apply per IP, per token and per organisation.
- Employee Identity (pii:read)What the Owner-granted pii:read scope unlocks over MCP and REST, how to grant it, resolve employee IDs to names and emails, audit every use, and rotate the token.
MCP
- MCP OverviewConnect AI clients like Claude and Cursor to your AutoCISO compliance data over MCP.
- MCP QuickstartGet a token and make your first AutoCISO MCP call.
- MCP CapabilitiesWhat you can ask AutoCISO over MCP, grouped by the question you would ask, covering all 66 tools and the plan each needs.
- Connect Claude DesktopAdd AutoCISO as a remote MCP server in Claude Desktop and verify it works.
- Connect Cursor and VS CodeAdd AutoCISO as an MCP server in Cursor or VS Code with safe token handling.
- MCP TypeScript SDKInstall @autociso/mcp-client and make your first typed MCP tool call from Node.
- MCP Python SDKInstall autociso-mcp-client and make your first typed MCP tool call from Python.
- MCP Tool CatalogAll 66 AutoCISO MCP tools — arguments, result shape, required scope, required plan, and PII masking.
- MCP Auth and ScopesCreate a token for an AI client, see which scopes unlock which MCP tools, and understand why a scope never overrides your plan.
- MCP Errors and RetriesMap MCP error codes to SDK exceptions and understand retry and rate-limit behavior.
- MCP TroubleshootingSymptom, cause, and fix for the most common AutoCISO MCP connection problems.
