API Labz for AI agents

API Labz bundles a set of small AI-driven utility endpoints, from data validation to searching other tools, for developers who want quick building blocks without integrating each service separately. 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 API Labz connects.

Users add their API Labz 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 API Labz 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

API Labz and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use API Labz with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect API Labz 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 API Labz actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect API Labz?

Users add their API Labz 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 API Labz actions can my agent take?

4 in total: 1 read, 3 write and 0 destructive, such as “validate IBAN”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in API Labz?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the API Labz policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call API Labz too?

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