Basin for AI agents

Basin is a no-code backend for HTML forms, handling form submissions, webhooks, and spam filtering so a site doesn't need its own server code. 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.

What agents do in Basin.

01

Check recent form submissions

Get submissions for a form to see what visitors have sent in without touching the website's code.

02

Set up a webhook for submissions

Create a form webhook so new submissions are pushed to another system as they arrive.

03

Delete a spam submission

Delete a submission flagged as spam only after review, since removing it can't be undone.

02 · ACTIONS

19 Basin actions, graded by risk.

Every Basin action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Form” can wait for the user, and “delete Form” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Basin through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Basin connects.

Users add their Basin 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 Basin 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

Basin and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Basin with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Basin 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 Basin actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Basin?

Users add their Basin 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 Basin actions can my agent take?

19 in total: 9 read, 6 write and 4 destructive, such as “create Form”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Basin?

Yes. Actions like “delete Form” 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 Basin too?

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