Encodian for AI agents

Encodian is a suite of document automation tools for converting, watermarking, OCRing, and manipulating files inside Microsoft 365 workflows, used by operations teams automating paperwork-heavy processes. 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

Encodian in three steps.

01Your users connect EncodianThey add their Encodian api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “create QR Code” can wait for the user to approve.
03Any agent can actYour agent calls Encodian 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('encodian', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_qr_code
  destructive: 'deny',  
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Encodian connects.

Users add their Encodian 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 Encodian 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

Encodian and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Encodian with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Encodian 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 Encodian actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Encodian?

Users add their Encodian 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 Encodian actions can my agent take?

69 in total: 43 read, 26 write and 0 destructive, such as “create QR Code”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Encodian?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Encodian policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Encodian too?

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