Yandex for AI agents
Yandex offers a suite of web services including search, maps, and cloud storage, used here to pull location, storage, and account data from a connected Yandex account. 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 Yandex.
Reverse geocode coordinates
Convert a latitude and longitude into a readable address.
Get public resource metadata
Look up metadata for a file stored in Yandex Disk, a read-only check.
List storage buckets
Pull the list of storage buckets on the account as a read-only inventory check.
21 Yandex actions, graded by risk.
Every Yandex action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “generate detailed route” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Yandex through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('yandex', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // route destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Yandex connects.
Users sign in to Yandex on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Yandex OAuth app, or bring your own so the Yandex consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
The same Yandex connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Use Yandex from any agent.
Yandex and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Yandex with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Yandex 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 Yandex actions you allow.
How do users connect Yandex?
Users sign in to Yandex on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Yandex OAuth app, or bring your own so the Yandex consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
Which Yandex actions can my agent take?
21 in total: 17 read, 4 write and 0 destructive, such as “generate detailed route”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Yandex?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Yandex policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Yandex too?
Yes. The same Yandex connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Yandex into your agent.
Your users connect Yandex once, under your brand. Your agent gets 21 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
