Dock Certs for AI agents

Dock Certs lets organizations issue, manage, and verify digital credentials and decentralized identities, so a credential can be checked instantly without contacting the issuer. 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 Dock Certs.

01

Verify a submitted credential

Verify a credential or presentation a user submitted before granting them access to a program.

02

Look up a DID document

Retrieve a decentralized identity document to confirm a holder's public keys before trusting a claim.

03

Approve before revoking a credential

Route a credential deletion through approval, since revoking it removes the holder's ability to prove that claim.

02 · ACTIONS

15 Dock Certs actions, graded by risk.

Every Dock Certs action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Dock Certs connects.

Users add their Dock Certs 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 Dock Certs 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

Dock Certs and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Dock Certs with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Dock Certs 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 Dock Certs actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Dock Certs?

Users add their Dock Certs 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 Dock Certs actions can my agent take?

15 in total: 9 read, 2 write and 4 destructive, such as “create API Key”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Dock Certs?

Yes. Actions like “delete Tag” 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 Dock Certs too?

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