Descript for AI agents

Descript imports and processes media through project-agent workflows, letting a team automate video and audio editing jobs instead of doing them by hand. 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.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Descript in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect DescriptThey sign in to Descript on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “import media” can wait for the user, and “cancel job” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Descript through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('descript', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // import_media
  destructive: 'deny',  // cancel_job
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Descript connects.

Descript runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Descript through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

The same Descript 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

Descript and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Descript with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Descript 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 Descript actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Descript?

Descript runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Descript through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

Q03

Which Descript actions can my agent take?

14 in total: 7 read, 6 write and 1 destructive, such as “import media”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Descript?

Yes. Actions like “cancel 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 Descript too?

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