How to Securely Add MCP Tools to Claude Code with Arcade.dev
Blog post from Arcade
Arcade.dev is presented as a secure action runtime for connecting Claude Code to external services such as GitHub, Slack, Jira, Google Workspace, and monitoring tools through Model Context Protocol servers without storing raw API tokens in local terminals or configuration files. The setup involves creating an Arcade MCP Gateway, registering it in Claude Code as a remote HTTP server, verifying the connection, and completing OAuth authentication through the MCP panel or command line. The guide argues that this approach reduces risks associated with local token injection, including prompt-injection-based credential exposure, limited auditability, and malformed tool parameters, by vaulting credentials, authorizing actions at execution time, logging activity centrally, and validating agent-facing tool schemas. It also explains user versus local configuration scopes, common configuration and authorization errors, and example workflows such as summarizing GitHub pull requests, converting Slack discussions into Google Docs, and creating Jira issues from flagged Google Sheets rows.
