Otter.ai for AI agents

Otter.ai records and transcribes meetings, letting users search past conversations and pull full transcripts. Teams use it to capture meeting notes without manual note-taking. 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 Otter.ai connects.

Otter.ai runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Otter.ai through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

The same Otter.ai 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: OAuth 2.0 (MCP)
CREDENTIALS: Per-tenant encrypted vault
MODEL SEES: Results only, never credentials
AUDIT LOG: Every call, on every plan

07 · FAQ

Otter.ai and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Otter.ai with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Otter.ai 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 Otter.ai actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Otter.ai?

Q03

Which Otter.ai actions can my agent take?

3 in total: 0 read, 3 write and 0 destructive, such as “otter fetch”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Otter.ai?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Otter.ai policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Otter.ai too?

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