Vantage for AI agents

Vantage analyzes cloud costs and usage across providers, used by FinOps and engineering teams tracking spend, budgets, and savings opportunities. 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.

EVERY VANTAGE CALL, ON THE RECORD
01 · USE CASES

What agents do in Vantage.

01

Create a cost report

Build a report breaking down cloud spend by service, team, or tag.

02

Check budget status

Read whether a budget is on track or over threshold, a read-only check.

03

Confirm before deleting a cost report

Check with the user before deleting a saved cost report, since the underlying configuration is lost with it.

02 · ACTIONS

134 Vantage actions, graded by risk.

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

  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create-team” can wait for the user, and “delete-team” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Vantage 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 Vantage connects.

Vantage runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Vantage through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

The same Vantage 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

Vantage and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Vantage with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Vantage 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 Vantage actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Vantage?

Vantage runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Vantage through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

Q03

Which Vantage actions can my agent take?

134 in total: 71 read, 43 write and 20 destructive, such as “create-team”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Vantage?

Yes. Actions like “delete-team” 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 Vantage too?

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