Pure1
Connecting Pure1 to NeuBird lets investigations pull in your Pure Storage fleet’s hardware inventory, support contract status, performance and capacity metrics, and active alerts directly from Pure1 — without opening a dashboard or running a script.
With the Pure1 integration, you can:
- Look up array/fleet hardware inventory and support contract status as configuration context
- Pull active alerts (severity, affected array) into an investigation
- Retrieve historical performance and capacity metrics for arrays, volumes, and workloads
NeuBird connects to Pure1’s hosted, read-only-by-design Manage MCP server. Unlike most connections, Pure1’s REST API supports only one authentication method — an RSA key pair, not a simple API token — so setup involves generating a key pair and registering the public half with Pure1.
Register an API Client with Pure1
Section titled “Register an API Client with Pure1”- Generate an RSA key pair locally (2048-bit or larger). Keep the private key — you’ll paste it into NeuBird; never share it with Pure Storage or anyone else.
- Sign in to Pure1 and open Settings > API Registration.
- Register a new API client, pasting in the public key you generated.
- Pure1 issues an Application ID in the form
pure1:apikey:.... Copy it — you’ll need it alongside the private key.
Note
Pure1 has no separate “read-only” API client role today — NeuBird only ever calls the Manage MCP server’s read-only tools, but the credential itself carries whatever access your Pure1 user/role has. Treat the private key as a highly privileged secret.
