Pneumatic for AI agents

Pneumatic is a workflow management platform for designing reusable processes and coordinating tasks across a team. Operations teams use it to standardize recurring work. 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 Pneumatic.

01

Run a workflow template

Kick off a new workflow instance from a saved template for a recurring process.

02

Check a workflow's task status read-only

Look up a running workflow's tasks to see what step it is currently on.

03

Mark a task complete with approval

Set a task's completion only after the assigned person confirms the work is done.

02 · ACTIONS

10 Pneumatic actions, graded by risk.

Every Pneumatic 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

Pneumatic in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect PneumaticThey add their Pneumatic api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “run Template” can wait for the user to approve.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Pneumatic 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 Pneumatic connects.

Users add their Pneumatic 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 Pneumatic 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

Pneumatic and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Pneumatic with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Pneumatic 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 Pneumatic actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Pneumatic?

Users add their Pneumatic 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 Pneumatic actions can my agent take?

10 in total: 7 read, 3 write and 0 destructive, such as “run Template”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Pneumatic?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Pneumatic policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Pneumatic too?

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

Get started

Plug Pneumatic into your agent.

Your users connect Pneumatic once, under your brand. Your agent gets 10 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
