ImageKit for AI agents

ImageKit is a media management platform for real-time image and video optimization, transformation, and delivery via CDN. Creative teams use it to generate this kind of asset on demand instead of by hand. 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.

Delete a media file only after confirming it is not referenced on a live page.

02 · ACTIONS

03 · HOW IT WORKS

ImageKit in three steps.

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

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

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How ImageKit connects.

Users add their ImageKit 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 ImageKit 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

ImageKit and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use ImageKit with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect ImageKit 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 ImageKit actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect ImageKit?

Users add their ImageKit 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 ImageKit actions can my agent take?

26 in total: 8 read, 10 write and 8 destructive, such as “create Folder”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in ImageKit?

Yes. Actions like “delete File” 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 ImageKit too?

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