✅Excellent Security Features
- ●The scopes requested by your app during the authentication process MUST follow the least privilege principle and thus solely be the ones your app needs to function. You can find all the scopes available here to determine which ones suit your business needs.
- ●you will also need to create an API user in order to get this token. Once you get its username and password, together with the client ID and the secret, you will eventually be able to generate a token for the REST API.
- ●First, there is a permission that grants ac[cess]... Check/uncheck the permissions you want... To change Web API permissions for one user role
- ●if you want to restrict the access to some REST API endpoints, use the ACLs authorizations. if you want to restrict the access to certain parts of your product catalog, use the Entreprise Edition permissions... Permissions on the Web API are granted according to the connection user role.
- ●if you want to restrict the access to certain parts of your product catalog, use the Entreprise Edition permissions (only available in the Entreprise Edition). Read-only mode on your catalog. Proposals of product information updates.
- ●General API Requests: up to 100 API requests per second per PIM instance. updating & creating attribute options: up to 3 API requests per second per PIM instance. Per PIM Connection: Up to 4 concurrent API calls are allowed for each individual PIM connection. Per PIM Instance: Up to 10 concurrent API calls are allowed across the entire PIM instance.
- ●Akeneo PIM uses the secret to create a hash signature of the API event. The signature is forwarded through the request header X-Akeneo-Request-Signature, and allows you to verify that the API event request was sent by the PIM and not by a malicious third-party.
- ●Well-documented rate limits with specific thresholds (100 req/s, 4 concurrent per connection)
- ●Granular RBAC with Web API-specific permission controls
- ●Webhook signature verification using HMAC SHA256 for event security
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No mfa enforcement
- ●No pii redaction
- ●No training opt out
- ●No data residency
- ●No gdpr compliance
- ●No audit logging
- ●No ai attribution
- ●No soc2 certified
- ●No audit logging documentation for API access tracking
- ●No MFA enforcement for API access
AI Integration Security evaluates whether Akeneo is safe for AI agent access. This assessment considers authentication strength, access controls, observability capabilities, and data privacy protections when APIs are accessed by AI systems like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom AI agents.

API reference, auth flows, error handling
MCP Server Available
communityAkeneo supports Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for secure AI agent integration.
View MCP Server💡Recommendations
- →⚠️ Official MCP server not found. Best alternative: https://github.com/akeneo/pim-docs (Trust: 0/100)
- →⚠️ 🔴 High Risk: Repository appears abandoned, No license found
- →❌ Poor AI readiness - not recommended for AI workflows
AI Readiness measures whether Akeneoprovides the infrastructure and developer resources necessary for secure AI agent integration. High readiness indicates official MCP server support, comprehensive API documentation, and developer-friendly tools.
