Prerender for AI agents

Prerender.io pre-renders JavaScript-heavy websites into static HTML so search engines can crawl and index them properly. SEO and engineering teams use it to improve how their site appears in search. 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 Prerender connects.

Users add their Prerender 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 Prerender 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

Prerender and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Prerender with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Prerender 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 Prerender actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Prerender?

Users add their Prerender 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 Prerender actions can my agent take?

10 in total: 5 read, 3 write and 2 destructive, such as “create SEO Audit Report”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Prerender?

Yes. Actions like “clear Cache” 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 Prerender too?

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