Ceramic for AI agents

Ceramic Search returns relevant public web content for a keyword query, giving an agent a lexical search layer built for AI use rather than a browser. 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 Ceramic connects.

Users add their Ceramic 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 Ceramic 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

Ceramic and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Ceramic with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Ceramic 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 Ceramic actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Ceramic?

Users add their Ceramic 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 Ceramic actions can my agent take?

1 in total: 1 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 Ceramic?

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

Q05

Can my own backend call Ceramic too?

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