Everything you probably want to know about AIronClaw before wiring it into your stack: what it does, where it runs, how we treat your data, and how well it plays with the tools you already use.
Short, non-technical answers first. Follow the links if you want the deep dive in our docs or security notes.
AIronClaw is a firewall and gateway for AI traffic. It sits between your apps or agents and the services they talk to, and it comes in two complementary flavours:
MCP Proxy — a smart shield in front of any MCP server. It inspects every tool call in real time, blocks injection attempts and abusive arguments, handles authentication, rate-limits noisy clients, redacts secrets in responses, and caches deterministic calls so you pay and wait less. You can also add persistent memory and guardrails per tool.
LLM Proxy — a drop-in replacement for OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock and similar APIs. Point your SDK at AIronClaw and every model call goes through centrally-managed policies: smart routing between providers with automatic fallback, per-key budgets and rate limits, input/output guardrails, and structured logs with full cost and token accounting.
One gateway, one policy surface, zero app-code changes.
AIronClaw is built by SicuraNext, an Italian cybersecurity company headquartered in Turin, Italy. The product is designed, engineered and operated by a European team.
The whole platform — application servers, databases, logs, backups, key vaults — runs on EU-only infrastructure, with no dependencies on non-European providers. No data ever leaves the EU, no US-owned CDN or cloud sits in the critical path, and every subprocessor is contractually bound to the same guarantee.
If you operate under GDPR, Schrems II or NIS2 and need a clean European supply chain, AIronClaw is built exactly for that audience.

Short version: your data is encrypted and only you can read it.
Every credential, API key, prompt and tool response you store in AIronClaw is written into a per-tenant encrypted secret store. The encryption keys are derived from material tied to your account, so:

Yes — and it's arguably the best place to start. AIronClaw is the ideal companion for n8n deployments, whether you're self-hosting or using n8n Cloud.
You get two wins at once:
Point your HTTP / MCP / AI nodes at an AIronClaw endpoint and you instantly inherit auth, observability and policy across every workflow.
Absolutely. AIronClaw ships with an agent-friendly skill manifest that teaches any modern AI agent how to drive the product on your behalf — create MCP proxies, add rules, rotate API keys, inspect logs, tune rate limits and more.
Just point your agent at:
https://aironclaw.com/skill.md
The file is a single, self-contained description of every capability the agent needs: endpoints, auth flow, safe defaults and examples. Claude, Cursor, Goose, ChatGPT Desktop, custom LangGraph agents — if it can load a skill, it can configure AIronClaw for you with a single instruction like "set up a proxy in front of my Postgres MCP and block any call that mentions DROP TABLE".
Out of the box, AIronClaw blocks the whole catalogue of classic web-app attacks that agents tend to smuggle into tool arguments:
os.system, backticks, template injection and similar tricks on tools that touch the filesystem or a shell.On top of that, you can opt in to:
Because it was born to solve exactly that problem. AIronClaw started as an internal project at SicuraNext to secure the n8n instances we run for our own consulting and AI engagements — and to keep their costs under control as soon as we plugged them into commercial LLMs.
We needed three things nobody else offered in one place:
We built those for ourselves first, and now we ship them as AIronClaw. So yes: every feature you see was stress-tested on real, production n8n workflows before it ever reached your dashboard.
