Arcade Overview

Arcade Engine

The Arcade engine is your MCP Server and Agentic tool provider. It allows you to write your tools once and serve them across any LLM or orchestration framework, no matter the protocol. The engine manages agent authentication, tool registration, and tool execution.

Dashboard

The Arcade Dashboard is how you manage your tools, users, and deployments from a single place. No matter how large your deployment or organization gets, the Dashboard will scale with you.

Public and Private Tools

Arcade makes it easy to develop custom tools that just work with Agents. Our SDKs and framework integrations make it easy to get started. When you are ready, it's easy to run your tools either on-prem or in our cloud.

Tools and MCP Servers Together

The Arcade Engine is the only way to combine MCP servers with your Agentic tools. Regardless of where your tool is hosted, you can serve and manage access to it via the Engine. You easily can mix our public tools with your own private tools in your agents.
