Dovetail for AI agents

Dovetail is a research analysis platform that organizes interview transcripts, survey responses, and customer feedback into tagged, summarized insights for product and research teams. 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 Dovetail.

01

Pull a project's insights

Get the insights saved under a research project to summarize findings for a stakeholder update.

02

Tag a new note

Create a note and topic tag for a fresh piece of customer feedback so it is searchable later.

03

Confirm before deleting an insight

Require approval before deleting an insight, since it may already be cited in a shared report.

02 · ACTIONS

51 Dovetail actions, graded by risk.

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

  1. 01Your users connect DovetailThey add their Dovetail api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Doc” can wait for the user, and “delete Doc” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Dovetail 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('dovetail', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_doc
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_doc
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Dovetail connects.

Users add their Dovetail 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 Dovetail 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

Dovetail and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Dovetail with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Dovetail 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 Dovetail actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Dovetail?

Users add their Dovetail 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 Dovetail actions can my agent take?

51 in total: 24 read, 21 write and 6 destructive, such as “create Doc”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Dovetail?

Yes. Actions like “delete Doc” 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 Dovetail too?

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