Exist for AI agents
Exist is a personal analytics app that combines data from other services to help people understand patterns in their daily life. 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 Exist.
Check today's attribute values
Get a user's attribute values for today, like sleep or mood, to answer a question about their trends.
Pull correlations between habits
Get correlations between two tracked attributes to explain what might be affecting a metric.
Read-only personal insight checks
Keep attribute and insight lookups read-only, since this data is personal and only meant to inform, not change.
12 Exist actions, graded by risk.
Every Exist action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Exist in three steps.
- 01Your users connect ExistThey sign in to Exist on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “exist OAuth2 Authorize” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Exist through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('exist', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // oauth2_authorize destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Exist connects.
Users sign in to Exist on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Exist OAuth app, or bring your own so the Exist consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
The same Exist connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Use Exist from any agent.
Exist and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Exist with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Exist 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 Exist actions you allow.
How do users connect Exist?
Users sign in to Exist on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Exist OAuth app, or bring your own so the Exist consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
Which Exist actions can my agent take?
12 in total: 8 read, 4 write and 0 destructive, such as “exist OAuth2 Authorize”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Exist?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Exist policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Exist too?
Yes. The same Exist connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Exist into your agent.
Your users connect Exist once, under your brand. Your agent gets 12 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
