Signing In¶
The sign-in screen¶
When you open a protected page while signed out, you see the TI Mindmap HUB sign-in screen. It shows:
- Three feature highlights: AI-Generated Analysis & Summaries, Automated IOC & STIX Extraction, Agentic Threat Intelligence
- A Generative AI Content notice: All summaries and analyses are AI-generated. Please verify critical information against original sources.
- A consent checkbox: I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
Steps¶
- Tick the consent checkbox (the Sign In button stays disabled until you do)
- Click Sign In
- Complete the Microsoft sign-in page (Azure AD B2C). New users can create an account from the same page
- On first sign-in in a browser session, a Welcome to TI Mindmap HUB Beta dialog explains the experimental nature of the platform. Click I Understand, Continue to Platform
After sign-in you land on the Threat Reports dashboard — or on the page you originally requested if you followed a direct link (for example, a shared report URL).
Signing out¶
Open the user menu (top right) and choose Logout.

MCP Server API Keys¶
API keys let external tools — IDEs, agents, and scripts — query TI Mindmap HUB on your behalf through the MCP Server. You manage them in My Profile → MCP Server API Keys.
Do you need a key?
OAuth-capable clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot Studio with OAuth, and recent versions of VS Code, Cursor, and Claude Code) sign you in with your TI Mindmap HUB account and do not need an API key. Keys are needed for agent frameworks (Foundry, OpenAI Responses API), scripts, shared agents, and clients without OAuth support.
Create a key¶
- Click Generate Key
- Enter a Key Name (for example,
VS Code laptop) - Click Generate
- Copy the key from the New API Key Created — Save it now! panel
The key is shown only once
Store it in a password manager or secret store. If you lose it, regenerate or revoke it and create a new one.
Key lifecycle¶
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Format | tim_ followed by a random string |
| Maximum active keys | 5 per account |
| Validity | 365 days from creation |
| Status values | Active, Expired, Revoked |
| Storage | Only a SHA-256 hash and an 8-character prefix are stored server-side |
From the keys table you can:
- Regenerate a key — issues a new secret with the same name; the old secret stops working
- Revoke a key — permanently disables it (cannot be undone)
