Arcade

name: Arcade
description: >
  Arcade.dev is the MCP runtime for production AI agent deployments. The Arcade
  Engine — a hosted or self-hostable API surface — handles OAuth user
  authorization, manages user tokens, and exposes 7,000+ pre-built integrations
  as Model Context Protocol tools that agent frameworks like LangChain, OpenAI
  Agents, CrewAI, AG2, Google ADK, Vercel AI, Mastra, and TanStack AI can call.
  This profile catalogs the public Arcade Engine API (39 endpoints across
  Admin, Authorization, Tools, LLM, Operations, Hooks, Gateways, and Plugins),
  the ArcadeAI GitHub org's SDKs, the arcade-mcp framework, and the public
  schemas repo.
