Canny for AI agents

Canny collects and prioritizes customer feedback, letting a product team turn scattered feature requests into a ranked, trackable roadmap for planning. 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 Canny connects.

Users add their Canny 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 Canny 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

Canny and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Canny with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Canny 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 Canny actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Canny?

Users add their Canny 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 Canny actions can my agent take?

25 in total: 12 read, 9 write and 4 destructive, such as “create Tag”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Canny?

Yes. Actions like “delete Post” 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 Canny too?

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