Convertapi for AI agents

ConvertAPI converts files programmatically across document, image, and spreadsheet formats, letting a workflow handle format changes without any manual steps. 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 Convertapi connects.

Users add their Convertapi 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 Convertapi 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

Convertapi and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Convertapi with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Convertapi 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 Convertapi actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Convertapi?

Users add their Convertapi 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 Convertapi actions can my agent take?

17 in total: 14 read, 1 write and 2 destructive, such as “async Convert”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Convertapi?

Yes. Actions like “delete Async Job” 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 Convertapi too?

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