  description: CAIS operates a remote Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.caisgroup.com/mcp, announced 2026-05-19
    as the first surface of the company's "Alts Engine" strategy and initially available to a select group of advisors within
    the CAIS network. It lets an agent query fund data, evaluate manager performance and surface portfolio insights from inside
    an advisor's existing workspace. The endpoint is protected by OAuth 2.1 with RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, dynamic
    client registration (RFC 7591) and PKCE S256; twelve scopes are advertised across four service domains (caisiq, funds,
    iam, ips). tools/list is auth-gated — an anonymous JSON-RPC call returns HTTP 401 invalid_token — so the live tool schemas
    require an authenticated CAIS advisor client.
