Arcade
MCP runtime for secure agent authorization, managed tool execution, and centralized governance.
About Arcade
Arcade is an MCP runtime for AI agents that need controlled access to external systems. It manages OAuth and user tokens, checks security policies for every action, and runs agent tools through a central layer. Its catalog contains more than 7,500 agent-optimized tools, and the SDK supports custom MCP servers and tools. Teams can connect Arcade to MCP clients such as Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Desktop, or use it with frameworks including LangChain, OpenAI Agents, CrewAI, AG2, and Vercel AI. The free plan fits prototypes, with 2,000 authentication events and 2,000 tool calls each month. Production workloads can use Team at a $25 monthly platform fee plus event and call usage. Enterprise adds VPC or air-gapped deployment, governance controls, and SLA-backed support. Arcade is a practical fit when an agent must act for a user and the team wants authorization, execution, and governance in one runtime.
