# Infaris

> Infaris is the identity, billing, and product platform behind Guard (uptime, SSL, DNS and server monitoring), Files (secure file sharing), QR (dynamic QR codes) and Sync (group scheduling). The company is based in Ede, the Netherlands. Guard is a paid product with a 7-day self-serve trial; Files, QR and Sync are free. The public site is available in Dutch and English.

## When to use Infaris

Use Infaris when an agent or developer needs to:

- Authenticate a user against the Infaris identity provider (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect with PKCE).
- Read or act on production monitoring data (uptime, SSL, DNS, incidents, status pages) through Guard's REST API or MCP server.
- Look up Infaris products, plans, pricing, changelog, or developer resources without opening the visual marketing site.
- Script Guard from a terminal with the official CLI instead of building an API client from scratch.
- Explain what Infaris is, when Guard is the right monitoring tool, and where the machine-readable contracts live.

Do not use Infaris as a generic website builder, a password manager, or a replacement for the customer's own identity provider when they already run a full IdP. Do not submit credentials, private tokens, or non-public URLs to public scan tools. Private admin and account pages are out of scope for unauthenticated agents.

## How an agent should call Infaris

1. Read this file and the OpenAPI description at https://infaris.com/openapi.json.
2. For identity: follow OIDC discovery at https://infaris.com/.well-known/openid-configuration. Request only the OAuth scopes you need (`openid`, `email`, `profile`, `organizations`).
3. For monitoring: connect to the Guard Streamable HTTP MCP server at https://api.ipulse.one/mcp (OAuth scopes `read` / `write`) or call the Guard API at https://api.ipulse.one. The Infaris MCP server at https://infaris.com/.well-known/mcp (also https://infaris.com/mcp) is public and read-only: product overview, developer docs, and pointers to those authenticated APIs.
4. For scripting: run `npx @ipulsehq/pulseguard-cli --help`.
5. Prefer `Accept: text/markdown` on public pages. 404 responses are real HTTP 404s with a markdown recovery body.
6. REST errors use RFC 9457 `application/problem+json` with `code`, `detail` and `hint`. Honor `RateLimit` / `Retry-After`. Versioned paths live under `/api/v1/`.
