Use\nwhen: blumira api, blumira auth, jwt token, blumira filtering, blumira pagination, or api error.</h2>\n<h1>Blumira API Patterns</h1>\n<h2>Overview</h2>\n<p>Blumira exposes a REST API at <code>https://api.blumira.com/public-api/v1</code> with two path groups: <code>/org/*</code> for direct organization access and <code>/msp/*</code> for MSP multi-tenant operations. The MCP server wraps these into tool calls, but understanding the underlying patterns helps construct effective queries.</p>\n<h2>Key Concepts</h2>\n<h3>Authentication</h3>\n<p>Blumira uses JWT tokens for authentication. The token is passed via the <code>X-Blumira-JWT-Token</code> header (MCP Gateway) or as a Bearer token directly against the API.</p>\n<pre><code>Authorization: Bearer &lt;JWT_TOKEN&gt;\n</code></pre>\n<p>Alternatively, for Pax8 integrations:</p>\n<pre><code>pax8ApiTokenV1: &lt;PAX8_TOKEN&gt;\n</code></pre>\n<p><strong>Important:</strong> JWT tokens have expiration times. If you receive 401 errors, the token may need to be regenerated from the Blumira portal.</p>\n<h3>Dual Path Groups</h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Path Group</th>\n<th>Prefix</th>\n<th>Use Case</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Organization</td>\n<td><code>/org/*</code></td>\n<td>Direct access to a single organization's data</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MSP</td>\n<td><code>/msp/*</code></td>\n<td>Multi-tenant access across managed accounts</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Organization tools (<code>blumira_findings_*</code>, <code>blumira_agents_*</code>, <code>blumira_users_*</code>) operate on the authenticated org. MSP tools (<code>blumira_msp_*</code>) require MSP-level credentials and can target specific accounts.</p>\n<h3>Rich Filtering Syntax</h3>\n<p>Blumira supports powerful query filters appended to field names:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Operator</th>\n<th>Suffix</th>\n<th>Example</th>\n<th>Description</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Equals</td>\n<td><code>.eq</code></td>\n<td><code>status.eq=10</code></td>\n<td>Exact match</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>In</td>\n<td><code>.in</code></td>\n<td><code>severity.in=HIGH,CRITICAL</code></td>\n<td>Match any in list</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Greater than</td>\n<td><code>.gt</code></td>\n<td><code>created.gt=2025-01-01</code></td>\n<td>Greater than</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Less than</td>\n<td><code>.lt</code></td>\n<td><code>created.lt=2025-12-31</code></td>\n<td>Less than</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Contains</td>\n<td><code>.contains</code></td>\n<td><code>name.contains=ransomware</code></td>\n<td>Substring match</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Regex</td>\n<td><code>.regex</code></td>\n<td><code>name.regex=^brute</code></td>\n<td>Regex match</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Negation</td>\n<td><code>!</code> prefix</td>\n<td><code>!status.eq=30</code></td>\n<td>Negate any filter</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p><strong>Combining filters:</strong> Multiple filters are ANDed together:</p>\n<pre><code>GET /org/findings?status.eq=10&amp;severity.in=HIGH,CRITICAL&amp;created.gt=2025-01-01\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Pagination</h3>\n<p>All list endpoints support pagination parameters:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter</th>\n<th>Description</th>\n<th>Default</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>page</code></td>\n<td>Page number (1-indexed)</td>\n<td>1</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>page_size</code></td>\n<td>Results per page</td>\n<td>25</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>limit</code></td>\n<td>Max total results</td>\n<td>—</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>order_by</code></td>\n<td>Sort field (prefix <code>-</code> for descending)</td>\n<td>varies</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Responses include pagination metadata:</p>\n<pre><code>{\n  \"data\": [...],\n  \"links\": {\n    \"next\": \"/org/findings?page=2&amp;page_size=25\",\n    \"prev\": null\n  },\n  \"meta\": {\n    \"total\": 142,\n    \"page\": 1,\n    \"page_size\": 25\n  }\n}\n</code></pre>\n<h3>MCP Navigation Tools</h3>\n<p>The MCP server includes stateful navigation tools:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><code>blumira_navigate</code></strong> — Navigate to a specific resource or view</li>\n<li><strong><code>blumira_status</code></strong> — Show current navigation context</li>\n<li><strong><code>blumira_back</code></strong> — Return to previous context</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These help maintain context when drilling into findings, devices, or accounts.</p>\n<h2>Common Workflows</h2>\n<h3>Filtered Finding Query</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Use <code>blumira_findings_list</code> with filter parameters</li>\n<li>Narrow results with status, severity, and date filters</li>\n<li>Page through results if needed</li>\n<li>Drill into specific findings with <code>blumira_findings_get</code></li>\n</ol>\n<h3>MSP Cross-Account Query</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Use <code>blumira_msp_accounts_list</code> to enumerate accounts</li>\n<li>Use <code>blumira_msp_findings_all</code> for cross-account finding overview</li>\n<li>Filter to specific account with <code>blumira_msp_findings_list</code></li>\n<li>Drill into per-account details as needed</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Error Handling</h2>\n<h3>401 Unauthorized</h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:</strong> JWT token is expired, invalid, or missing\n<strong>Solution:</strong> Regenerate the token from Blumira Portal &gt; Settings &gt; API Access. Verify <code>BLUMIRA_JWT_TOKEN</code> is set.</p>\n<h3>403 Forbidden</h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:</strong> Token lacks permissions for the requested resource (e.g., org token used for MSP endpoints)\n<strong>Solution:</strong> Ensure the token has appropriate scope. MSP endpoints require MSP-level credentials.</p>\n<h3>404 Not Found</h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:</strong> Resource ID doesn't exist or is not accessible from the current scope\n<strong>Solution:</strong> Verify the ID and ensure the token has access to the target organization.</p>\n<h3>429 Rate Limited</h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:</strong> Too many requests in a short period\n<strong>Solution:</strong> Back off and retry after a delay. Use pagination to reduce request volume.</p>\n<h3>422 Validation Error</h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:</strong> Invalid filter syntax or parameter values\n<strong>Solution:</strong> Check filter operator syntax (<code>.eq</code>, <code>.in</code>, etc.) and ensure values match expected types.</p>\n<h2>Best Practices</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use pagination (<code>page_size=50</code>) for large datasets instead of fetching everything at once</li>\n<li>Combine filters to narrow results before fetching — don't over-fetch and filter client-side</li>\n<li>Use <code>order_by=-created</code> to get most recent items first</li>\n<li>Cache account lists when doing MSP operations to avoid repeated lookups</li>\n<li>Always handle pagination — check <code>meta.total</code> to know if more pages exist</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Related Skills</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"../findings/SKILL.md\">Findings</a> — Finding lifecycle management</li>\n<li><a href=\"../msp/SKILL.md\">MSP</a> — MSP multi-tenant operations</li>\n<li><a href=\"../agents/SKILL.md\">Agents</a> — Device and agent management</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":5524,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
