Benzinga for AI agents

Benzinga provides real-time financial news, earnings calendars, and analyst ratings, used by traders and financial apps to pull market-moving information as it happens. 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 Benzinga connects.

Users add their Benzinga 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 Benzinga 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

Benzinga and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Benzinga with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Benzinga 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 Benzinga actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Benzinga?

Users add their Benzinga 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 Benzinga actions can my agent take?

10 in total: 10 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Benzinga?

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

Q05

Can my own backend call Benzinga too?

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