Security, Data access & Troubleshooting

Security & data access

  • Two authentication methods — OAuth for browser-based user logins, API tokens for programmatic access. Both follow industry-standard security practices.

  • OAuth — Tracxn never sees your AI client's credentials, and your AI client never sees your Tracxn password.

  • API tokens — tokens are tied to your account and inherit your account's permissions. Never share tokens or commit them to version control. Regenerate immediately if you suspect compromise.

  • Data residency — all queries are processed by Tracxn's servers. No Tracxn data is stored by the AI client beyond what's shown in the conversation.

  • Revoke anytime — disconnect the integration in your AI client, regenerate your API token, or revoke OAuth grants from Tracxn settings to immediately end access.


Troubleshooting

"Connection failed" or "Invalid URL"

  • Verify you've copied the Tracxn MCP URL exactly, with no trailing spaces

  • Check your network — corporate firewalls may block MCP endpoints. Whitelist the Tracxn MCP domain

  • "Not authorized" / "401 Unauthorized"

    • Your Tracxn session may have expired. Disconnect and reconnect to re-authenticate.

    • Confirm your Tracxn plan includes MCP access.

    "No tools available" after connecting

    • Restart your AI client — some clients need a restart after the first OAuth completion

    • Check that you completed the full OAuth flow (browser redirect back to the client)

    Tools show up but queries return errors

    • Confirm your subscription covers the data you're querying (e.g., financials may require a higher tier)

    • Try a simpler query first ("find Razorpay on Tracxn") to isolate the issue

    OAuth login fails or browser doesn't open

    • Try logging in to Tracxn directly in your browser first, then retry the MCP connection

    • Disable any browser extensions that block popups or redirects

    Still stuck? Contact your Tracxn account manager or email [email protected] with:

    • AI client name and version
