Elai for AI agents
Elai is an AI video generation platform that creates presenter-led videos from text scripts, templates, and uploaded media, used by marketing and training teams producing video at scale. 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 Elai.
Generate a video from a script
Create a story video from a script and chosen avatar once the content is approved.
Check a video's render status
Poll a video's status to see whether rendering has finished before sharing it.
Confirm before deleting a video
Require approval before deleting a rendered video, since it removes finished work.
8 Elai actions, graded by risk.
Every Elai action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Elai in three steps.
- 01Your users connect ElaiThey add their Elai api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Story Video” can wait for the user, and “delete Video” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Elai through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('elai', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_story_video destructive: 'deny', // delete_video }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Elai connects.
Users add their Elai 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 Elai 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
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Elai from any agent.

Elai and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Elai with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Elai 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 Elai actions you allow.
How do users connect Elai?
Users add their Elai 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.
Which Elai actions can my agent take?
8 in total: 4 read, 3 write and 1 destructive, such as “create Story Video”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Elai?
Yes. Actions like “delete Video” 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.
Can my own backend call Elai too?
Yes. The same Elai connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Elai into your agent.
Your users connect Elai once, under your brand. Your agent gets 8 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
