Picnie for AI agents

Picnie automates template-based image and PDF generation along with image processing like resizing and background removal. Marketing teams use it to produce branded visuals at scale. 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 Picnie connects.

Users add their Picnie 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 Picnie 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

Picnie and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Picnie with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Picnie 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 Picnie actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Picnie?

Users add their Picnie 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 Picnie actions can my agent take?

19 in total: 5 read, 13 write and 1 destructive, such as “create PDF”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Picnie?

Yes. Actions like “remove Image Background” 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 Picnie too?

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