Modem for AI agents

Modem turns customer conversations into structured records of topics, people, and companies for analysis and follow-up by support and sales teams. 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.

EVERY MODEM CALL, ON THE RECORD
01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Modem.

01

Look up a company's activity

Pull a company's recent activity and history to prepare for a customer call, read-only.

02

Tag people to a company

Add newly identified people to the right company record after a conversation.

03

Block irreversible merges without review

Require approval before merging two company or people records, since Modem merges them irreversibly.

02 · ACTIONS

30 Modem actions, graded by risk.

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

  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Modem through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Modem connects.

Users add their Modem 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 Modem 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

Modem and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Modem with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Modem 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 Modem actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Modem?

Users add their Modem 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 Modem actions can my agent take?

30 in total: 20 read, 7 write and 3 destructive, such as “create People”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Modem?

Yes. Actions like “merge People Irreversibly” 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 Modem too?

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