Persona for AI agents

Persona provides identity verification infrastructure for building automated KYC and fraud-prevention checks. Trust and safety teams use it to verify user identities before granting access. 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.

What agents do in Persona.

01

Create an account for verification

Create an account record so an identity verification inquiry can be linked to it.

02

Check inquiry status read-only

Look up the status of a verification inquiry before deciding on next steps.

03

Expire an inquiry session with approval

Expire a pending verification session only after confirming the user abandoned it.

02 · ACTIONS

69 Persona actions, graded by risk.

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

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Persona in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect PersonaThey add their Persona api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Webhook” can wait for the user, and “archive a webhook” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Persona through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('persona', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_webhook
  destructive: 'deny',  // archive_a_webhook
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Persona connects.

Users add their Persona 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 Persona 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

Persona and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Persona with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Persona 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 Persona actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Persona?

Users add their Persona 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 Persona actions can my agent take?

69 in total: 32 read, 25 write and 12 destructive, such as “create Webhook”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Persona?

Yes. Actions like “archive a 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 Persona too?

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