Castingwords for AI agents

CastingWords offers human-powered transcription, converting recorded audio into accurate text through a straightforward API rather than automated speech recognition alone. 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 Castingwords connects.

Users add their Castingwords 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 Castingwords 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

Castingwords and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Castingwords with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Castingwords 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 Castingwords actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Castingwords?

Users add their Castingwords 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 Castingwords actions can my agent take?

9 in total: 4 read, 4 write and 1 destructive, such as “list Available SKUs”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Castingwords?

Yes. Actions like “cancel and Refund Audio File” 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 Castingwords too?

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