The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including Get authentication token, Get list of all endpoints, Get list of PAM asset categories, and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport.
