Boxhero for AI agents
BoxHero is cloud-based inventory management software that small and mid-sized businesses use to track stock levels, locations, and transactions across a team. 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 Boxhero.
Check stock levels for an item
Read-only lookup of an item's stock level and location before deciding to reorder or transfer it.
Review transaction history
Pull the basic or location transaction history for an item to see its recent stock movements.
Require approval before deleting an item
Flag deleting an item or location as destructive since it removes inventory records.
14 Boxhero actions, graded by risk.
Every Boxhero action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

How Boxhero connects.
Users add their Boxhero 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 Boxhero connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Boxhero and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Boxhero with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Boxhero 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 Boxhero actions you allow.
How do users connect Boxhero?
Users add their Boxhero 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.
Which Boxhero actions can my agent take?
14 in total: 12 read, 0 write and 2 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Boxhero?
Yes. Actions like “delete Item” 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.
Can my own backend call Boxhero too?
Yes. The same Boxhero connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Boxhero into your agent.
