PlexTrac MCP Prototype
Internal AI Integration Exploration
While working at PlexTrac, I designed and built an internal prototype demonstrating how modern AI tooling could interact directly with customer security data using PlexTrac’s existing public APIs.
The goal was simple:
show how quickly a secure, useful AI integration could be stood up using the tools customers already have access to.
This prototype uses Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow Claude to query PlexTrac data in real time and assist with reporting, analysis, and executive communication — without introducing new proprietary dependencies or requiring special customer access.
What This Prototype Demonstrates
Natural language querying of PlexTrac clients, reports, and findings
AI-assisted report summaries, trend analysis, and remediation roadmaps
Executive-ready outputs generated directly from live data
Secure authentication using existing PlexTrac credentials and APIs
Clear separation between prototype logic and production systems
The prototype was intentionally designed as a proof-of-concept, not a production feature — focused on clarity, speed, and capability exploration rather than scale or hardening.
My Role
Designed the MCP integration architecture
Built the initial server and tool definitions
Defined practical, real-world use cases for customers and internal teams
Created onboarding and internal documentation for non-AI specialists
Transitioned the prototype to PlexTrac engineering for further development
This work has since been handed off to the PlexTrac engineering team and is being evaluated for future productization.
Why This Matters
This project reflects how I approach innovation as a Sales Engineer and aspiring Field CTO:
Start with real customer workflows
Use existing platform capabilities first
Prototype quickly to reduce ambiguity
Communicate value through working examples, not slides
It also reinforces a core belief of mine: AI becomes truly valuable when it meets practitioners where they already work.
Availability
This prototype is not publicly available and is shared here only as an example of internal innovation and technical exploration completed in my role at PlexTrac. No customer data or production customer environments were used in developing or demonstrating this prototype. This work was created in the course of my employment with PlexTrac and is owned by PlexTrac. Any views expressed here reflect my personal perspective on product innovation and do not represent official product commitments or roadmaps.
MCP FAQ
-
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems.
Using MCP, AI applications like Claude or ChatGPT can connect to data sources (e.g. local files, databases), tools (e.g. search engines, calculators) and workflows (e.g. specialized prompts) - enabling them to access key information and perform tasks.
-
Agents can access your Google Calendar and Notion, acting as a more personalized AI assistant.
Claude Code can generate an entire web app using a Figma design.
Enterprise chatbots can connect to multiple databases across an organization, empowering users to analyze data using chat.
AI models can create 3D designs on Blender and print them out using a 3D printer.cription text goes here
