Bannerbear for AI agents

Bannerbear generates images and videos from templates through an API, used by marketing and product teams to produce social graphics and banners automatically at scale. 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.

Generate a social graphic

02

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Bannerbear connects.

Users add their Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear 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

Bannerbear and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Bannerbear with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Bannerbear?

Users add their Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear actions can my agent take?

33 in total: 21 read, 10 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Project”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Bannerbear?

Yes. Actions like “delete Webhook” 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 Bannerbear too?

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