Cody for AI agents
Cody is an AI assistant trained on a business's own documents and data, answering questions the way a knowledgeable team member would. 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 Cody.
Ask a question in a conversation
Send a message into a conversation and get back an answer grounded in the business's own documents.
Add a document to a bot
Add a new document or webpage to a bot's knowledge base so it can answer questions about it.
Confirm before deleting a document
Confirm before deleting a document from a bot's knowledge base, since answers relying on it change.
21 Cody actions, graded by risk.
Every Cody action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Cody in three steps.
- 01Your users connect CodyThey add their Cody api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Folder” can wait for the user, and “delete Document” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Cody through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('cody', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_folder destructive: 'deny', // delete_document }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Cody connects.
Users add their Cody 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 Cody 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
Use Cody from any agent.
Cody and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Cody with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Cody 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 Cody actions you allow.
How do users connect Cody?
Users add their Cody 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 Cody actions can my agent take?
21 in total: 10 read, 9 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Folder”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Cody?
Yes. Actions like “delete Document” 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 Cody too?
Yes. The same Cody connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Cody into your agent.
Your users connect Cody once, under your brand. Your agent gets 21 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
