Vercel AI Gateway for AI agents

Vercel AI Gateway routes requests to different AI models through one endpoint, used by developers who want model flexibility and usage tracking without juggling separate API keys. 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 Vercel AI Gateway connects.

Users add their Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Vercel AI Gateway and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Vercel AI Gateway with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Vercel AI Gateway?

Users add their Vercel AI Gateway 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 Vercel AI Gateway actions can my agent take?

22 in total: 9 read, 13 write and 0 destructive, such as “create Embeddings”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Vercel AI Gateway?

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

Q05

Can my own backend call Vercel AI Gateway too?

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