Zoho Inventory for AI agents

Zoho Inventory tracks stock, orders, and multi-channel sales, used by businesses that need inventory levels to stay in sync across sales channels. 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.
