Is my data secure when using MCP with external AI models?

Dataslayer MCP uses enterprise-grade security with OAuth 2.1 authentication, encrypted connections, and ISO 27001 certification. Your credentials stay with Dataslayer, AI providers only receive the specific data you request.

Yes, your data is secure when using Dataslayer MCP with AI providers like Claude, ChatGPT, and Mistral AI. The Model Context Protocol is designed with security as a core principle, ensuring your marketing platform credentials and account access never leave Dataslayer's protected infrastructure.

How MCP Security Works

  • You authenticate with Dataslayer: When setting up MCP, you log in directly to Dataslayer using OAuth 2.1. The AI provider never sees your Dataslayer username or password.
  • Dataslayer issues secure tokens: Once authenticated, Dataslayer provides an encrypted access token to the AI provider. This token allows data requests but doesn't expose your credentials.
  • AI requests data on your behalf: When you query data, the request goes to Dataslayer's MCP server with your token. Dataslayer verifies the token, retrieves the data, and sends only the query results back.
  • Your platform credentials stay protected: Your Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, and other platform credentials remain solely with Dataslayer. The AI provider never has access to these underlying accounts.

What Data is Shared vs Protected

Shared with the AI provider:

  • The marketing data you explicitly request in your queries (metrics, dimensions, campaign names, dates)
  • Query results that answer your specific questions

NOT shared with the AI provider:

  • Your Dataslayer username or password
  • Your marketing platform credentials (Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, etc.)
  • Data you haven't specifically requested
  • Access to your Dataslayer account settings

The AI provider only receives the specific query results needed to answer your questions, nothing more.

Security Measures

Dataslayer MCP implements multiple layers of protection:

  • Encrypted connections: All communication uses industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • OAuth 2.1 authentication: Modern protocol used by major tech companies for secure, token-based access
  • ISO 27001 & 27701 certified: Internationally recognized certifications for Information Security and Privacy Protection, audited by Bureau Veritas
  • Token-based access: Tokens can be revoked instantly and expire automatically with inactivity
  • Scoped permissions: MCP can only retrieve data—cannot modify your account or access platform credentials
  • No credential storage: AI providers never receive or store your Dataslayer login credentials

You Control Your Data

  • Revoke access instantly: Disconnect the MCP server from any AI provider through their settings, and the access token is immediately revoked.
  • Choose what to share: Only the data you explicitly request in queries is sent to the AI provider.
  • Don't share your MCP URL: Your unique MCP server URL is personal to your account. Never share it with others.

Data Residency

Your marketing data flows from Dataslayer to your chosen AI provider:

  • Claude: Anthropic's infrastructure
  • ChatGPT: OpenAI's infrastructure
  • Mistral AI: EU-based data centers (GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 certified)

If EU data residency is required for compliance, Mistral AI keeps all processing within European data centers.
