PDF Munk for AI agents

PDF Munk provides APIs for generating, converting, editing, and extracting content from PDFs and images. Developers use it for document and image processing pipelines. 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 PDF Munk connects.

Users add their PDF Munk 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 PDF Munk connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

PDF Munk and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use PDF Munk with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect PDF Munk 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 PDF Munk actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect PDF Munk?

Users add their PDF Munk 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 PDF Munk actions can my agent take?

9 in total: 3 read, 5 write and 1 destructive, such as “oCR PDF”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in PDF Munk?

Yes. Actions like “merge PDFs” 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 PDF Munk too?

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