Mathpix for AI agents

Mathpix extracts text, math, and tables from images and documents through OCR, converting them into editable formats for research and publishing workflows. 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 Mathpix.

01

OCR a scanned document

Convert an uploaded document image into editable text and math for further processing.

02

Check an OCR job's result

Retrieve the result of a submitted OCR job once it finishes, a read-only lookup with no changes made.

03

Approve before deleting a document

Require approval before deleting a processed document, since it removes its stored conversion result.

02 · ACTIONS

29 Mathpix actions, graded by risk.

Every Mathpix action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Mathpix in three steps.

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

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Mathpix connects.

Users add their Mathpix 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 Mathpix 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

Mathpix and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Mathpix with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Mathpix 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 Mathpix actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Mathpix?

Users add their Mathpix 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 Mathpix actions can my agent take?

29 in total: 15 read, 10 write and 4 destructive, such as “create App Token”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Mathpix?

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 Mathpix too?

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