Inistate for AI agents
Inistate is a workspace platform for building workflow and record-management apps, with modules, entries, and audit trails. Engineering teams pull it into internal tools and scripts rather than building the same capability themselves. 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 Inistate.
Look up an entry's history
Pull the audit history of a record entry to see who changed its state and when.
Create a new entry
Create a new record entry in a module from data submitted through a request.
Change entry state with approval
Move an entry to a new workflow state only after the owning team confirms the transition.
12 Inistate actions, graded by risk.
Every Inistate action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Inistate in three steps.
- 01Your users connect InistateThey add their Inistate api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “create Entry” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Inistate through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('inistate', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_entry destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Inistate connects.
Users add their Inistate 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 Inistate 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
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use Inistate from any agent.
Inistate and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Inistate with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Inistate 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 Inistate actions you allow.
How do users connect Inistate?
Users add their Inistate 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.
Which Inistate actions can my agent take?
12 in total: 7 read, 5 write and 0 destructive, such as “create Entry”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Inistate?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Inistate policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Inistate too?
Yes. The same Inistate connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Inistate into your agent.
Your users connect Inistate once, under your brand. Your agent gets 12 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
