Amara for AI agents

Amara is a subtitling and captioning platform for video, used by teams to create, translate, and manage subtitles for accessibility and multilingual audiences. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Amara connects.

Users add their Amara api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Amara connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Amara and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Amara with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Amara to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Amara actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Amara?

Users add their Amara api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Amara actions can my agent take?

30 in total: 19 read, 10 write and 1 destructive, such as “create Video”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Amara?

Yes. Actions like “delete Video URL” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Amara too?

Yes. The same Amara connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
