Paradym for AI agents

Paradym is an API-first platform for issuing, verifying, and managing verifiable digital credentials across open standards. Identity and compliance teams use it to run credential programs. 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.

01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Paradym.

01

Create a credential offer

Issue a new SD-JWT or AnonCreds credential offer to a holder's wallet.

02

Check a connection's status read-only

Look up an existing DIDComm connection before sending a new issuance offer through it.

03

Delete a trusted entity with approval

Remove a trusted entity from the registry only after a security lead confirms it is no longer valid.

02 · ACTIONS

69 Paradym actions, graded by risk.

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

  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Certificate” can wait for the user, and “delete Project Webhook” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Paradym 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 Paradym connects.

Users add their Paradym 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 Paradym 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

Paradym and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Paradym with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Paradym 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 Paradym actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Paradym?

Users add their Paradym 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 Paradym actions can my agent take?

69 in total: 34 read, 25 write and 10 destructive, such as “create Certificate”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Paradym?

Yes. Actions like “delete Project Webhook” 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 Paradym too?

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