Hex for AI agents

Hex is a collaborative data workspace combining SQL, Python, and R notebooks for analytics and data science teams. Teams use it to answer recurring questions about performance without building custom reporting. 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

Hex in three steps.

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

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

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Hex connects.

Users add their Hex 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 Hex 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

Hex and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Hex with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Hex 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 Hex actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Hex?

Users add their Hex 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 Hex actions can my agent take?

32 in total: 13 read, 14 write and 5 destructive, such as “create Cell”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Hex?

Yes. Actions like “delete Cell” 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 Hex too?

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