Northflank for AI agents

Northflank is a self-service developer platform that automates and unifies deployment of any workload, on any cloud, at any scale. 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.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Northflank connects.

Users add their Northflank 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 Northflank 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

Northflank and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Northflank with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Northflank 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 Northflank actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Northflank?

Users add their Northflank 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 Northflank actions can my agent take?

20 in total: 13 read, 6 write and 1 destructive, such as “create Secret”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Northflank?

Yes. Actions like “delete Project” 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 Northflank too?

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