Replicate for AI agents

Replicate runs AI models in the cloud through an API, letting developers generate predictions from image, text, and other models without managing servers. 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.

01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Replicate.

01

Run a model prediction

Create a prediction from a public model to generate an image, transcript, or other output on demand.

02

Check hardware before running

List available hardware types before starting a prediction that needs a specific GPU.

03

Confirm before canceling a job

Get a prediction's status first, then cancel it only after confirming it's the wrong run.

02 · ACTIONS

31 Replicate actions, graded by risk.

Every Replicate 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

Replicate in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect ReplicateThey add their Replicate api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Model” can wait for the user, and “cancel Prediction” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Replicate 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('replicate', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_model
  destructive: 'deny',  // cancel_prediction
})

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Replicate connects.

Users add their Replicate 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 Replicate 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

Replicate and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Replicate with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Replicate 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 Replicate actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Replicate?

Users add their Replicate 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 Replicate actions can my agent take?

31 in total: 2 read, 25 write and 4 destructive, such as “create Model”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Replicate?

Yes. Actions like “cancel Prediction” 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 Replicate too?

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