Gift Up! for AI agents

Gift Up! lets businesses sell and manage digital gift cards on their own site. Retailers and service businesses use it to run gift card programs and track redemptions. 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.

How Gift Up! connects.

Users add their Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! 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

Gift Up! and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Gift Up! with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Gift Up!?

Users add their Gift Up! 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 Gift Up! actions can my agent take?

44 in total: 21 read, 19 write and 4 destructive, such as “create Item”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Gift Up!?

Yes. Actions like “delete Item” 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 Gift Up! too?

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