PDFMonkey for AI agents

PDFMonkey automates PDF generation from templates, letting teams create professional documents like invoices and reports programmatically. Businesses use it to replace manual document formatting. 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.

await arc0.policies.set('pdfmonkey', {
  read: 'allow',

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How PDFMonkey connects.

Users add their PDFMonkey 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 PDFMonkey 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

PDFMonkey and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use PDFMonkey with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect PDFMonkey 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 PDFMonkey actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect PDFMonkey?

Users add their PDFMonkey 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 PDFMonkey actions can my agent take?

18 in total: 11 read, 5 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Document”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in PDFMonkey?

Yes. Actions like “delete Document” 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 PDFMonkey too?

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