BytePlus Ark for AI agents
BytePlus Ark gives access to generative AI models for tasks like video generation, so a team can kick off and track AI rendering jobs through an API. 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.

The same BytePlus Ark connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan

BytePlus Ark and Arc0, answered.
Can I use BytePlus Ark with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect BytePlus Ark 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 BytePlus Ark actions you allow.
How do users connect BytePlus Ark?
Users add their BytePlus Ark 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 BytePlus Ark actions can my agent take?
4 in total: 2 read, 1 write and 1 destructive, such as “create Video Task”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in BytePlus Ark?
Yes. Actions like “cancel or Delete Video Task” 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 BytePlus Ark too?
Yes. The same BytePlus Ark connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
