Conversion Tools for AI agents

Conversion Tools converts documents between formats like PDF, Word, Excel, and CSV, giving a workflow a way to change file types without manual exporting. 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 Conversion Tools connects.

Users add their Conversion Tools 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 Conversion Tools 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

Conversion Tools and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Conversion Tools with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Conversion Tools 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 Conversion Tools actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Conversion Tools?

Users add their Conversion Tools 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 Conversion Tools actions can my agent take?

11 in total: 8 read, 3 write and 0 destructive, such as “create Conversion Task”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Conversion Tools?

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

Q05

Can my own backend call Conversion Tools too?

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