The Ironmetrics platform offers robust programmatic access designed for external developers and custom organizational integrations. This documentation outlines the standards for interfacing securely with our Model Context Protocol (MCP).
1. Authentication Security
Connecting to the Ironmetrics MCP requires strict adherence to our global security protocols to protect sensitive data streams.
- Standard OAuth2 Implementation: All external applications must authenticate via our secure OAuth2 gateway. Client credentials and authorization flows are strictly enforced.
- Secure Token Protocols: We utilize short-lived, cryptographically signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for session management. Static API keys are heavily restricted and subject to automatic rotation policies.
- Rate Limiting & Intrusion Prevention: All authenticated requests pass through a robust Web Application Firewall (WAF) to prevent abuse and ensure equitable bandwidth allocation.
2. Data Schema
When transmitting data to the MCP, payloads must conform precisely to our mathematical data structures to prevent parsing errors and ensure data integrity.
- Variable Mapping: Custom variable inputs must be formatted as JSON objects. Detailed schematics outlining required parameter types (strings, floats, booleans) for performance indicators and analytical logs are available in the Developer Portal.
- Database Alignment: Properly mapped data ensures that exogenous variables and metric inputs are safely written into the designated tables without risking type-casting failures. Strict payload validation is executed before any database commit occurs.
