arcade-mcp is the MCP framework that grows with you. Launch a secure MCP server with built in Auth, zero setup, and no rewrites. Write clean Python, scale to production, and connect tools like Gmail or Slack in one line. Open source, eval ready, and works with LangGraph, Cursor, Claude, and more.
I've used the Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev multiple times now and it's been a breeze each time. I converted some of my old helper scripts into a simple MCP server with minimal code.

Congrats on the launch, team! It's been really exciting watching all the ways in which Arcade leverages devtooling security and makes it more accessible to developers. Keep up the great work!

We kept seeing the same thing: cool MCP demos that only work on localhost.
When we started building real agents, we hit the same pain - auth broke, secrets leaked, and deploying to production meant rewriting everything. So we built a framework to fix it.
arcade-mcp. the secure MCP framework is an open-source server framework for building and deploying MCP servers that actually scale. It handles:
Auth flows and delegated access
Secret management (never exposed to the model)
One-command deploy from localhost to production
We’ve been using it internally to run hundreds of MCP servers and thousands of tools - now it’s yours too. If you’re tired of fighting just to get an agent online, then give it a spin.
@ericgustin Would love to see built-in observability or tracing hooks in future versions.

@ericgustin @masump we emit Otel metrics and logs currently so any consumer (datadog, grafana, etc) can connect and view, but would love to hear more about what you want here in a github issue.

@ericgustin @masump We'd love to hear what specific visibility would be most useful for your setup. What's helpful? Tool execution traces, auth flow insights, or something else? Let's make it happen! 🚀
@ericgustin @masump What are you trying to keep an eye on as you ask for observability features ? What are you generally concerned about ? Tool calls / usage ? or tracing who is calling what ? or for more for infrastructure stability ?

I'm so happy about this going live!
arcade-mcp, the secure MCP framework provides a robust development framework for MCP servers, especially by managing authentication for you, connecting to any third-party system. We know auth can be a huge hurdle, and we made it seamless.
My favorite feature has to be how incredibly easy it makes building a local MCP server and securely deploying it in a single step. We really focused on taking the headache out of getting a production-grade MCP server up and running quickly.
If you've ever wanted to turn that weekend project into a real agent people can use, then give arcade-mcp a try.

Let’s go team! I love seeing us give these goodies to the community. We love feedback , don’t be shy. Tell us what you want and what we can do better. It’s time to build.

@ben_sabrin3 It's time to build 💪
I've been building with the Arcade's Secure MCP Framework for a couple weeks now and I've been beyond impressed! I've actually tried to build agent authorization myself into custom MCP servers in the past and it was a huge pain. So this is much needed!

@coleam Thanks Cole! Happy the framework can help you ship 🚢
