Summary

Arcade.dev allows organizations to register third-party or internally built remote MCP servers in a centralized control plane, enabling agents to use vendor tools while maintaining governance, authentication separation, and auditability. After an administrator registers a Streamable HTTP-compatible server and discovers its tool catalog, teams can selectively expose tools through MCP gateways that work with the Arcade SDK and clients such as Claude, Cursor, and Copilot. Although an admin credential is used only for discovery, each end user completes authorization individually at runtime, ensuring actions use separate user identities and tokens rather than a shared account. The approach provides a single gateway and authorization model for both Arcade-native and external tools, while current limitations include support only for tools, not MCP prompts, resources, or sampling, and a requirement that remote servers remain reachable from Arcade.
