Founded in February 2024 by Alex Salazar (former Okta VP and Stormpath co-founder) and Sam Partee (former Principal AI Engineer at Redis), Arcade solves the core bottleneck in enterprise AI agent adoption: secure, per-user authentication and reliable tool integration at scale. Its platform supplies agent-optimized tools across 40+ major SaaS systems, manages OAuth token lifecycles without exposing credentials to LLMs, and offers centralized governance via MCP Gateways. Arcade is compatible with all major MCP clients and LLM frameworks, deploys in cloud or on-prem environments, and holds SOC 2 certification. The company raised a $12M seed round in March 2025. Product summary: Arcade.dev is an MCP runtime platform that enables AI agents to securely take real-world actions on behalf of users across enterprise and consumer applications. It provides authenticated tool-calling infrastructure—handling per-user OAuth flows, token management, and credential security—so that agents built on any LLM framework can interact with systems like Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, and 40+ others without service-account risk or bespoke integration work. The platform includes a curated catalog of agent-optimized MCP tools, an open-source SDK for building custom tools, MCP Gateways for team-level governance, and enterprise controls (RBAC, audit logs, flexible deployment) that satisfy security and compliance requirements. ### Key capabilities - MCP runtime for multi-user, production-grade AI agent deployments - Per-user OAuth authorization (agents act as the user, not a shared service account) - Secure token management—LLMs never access raw credentials - Pre-built catalog of 8,000+ agent-optimized MCP tool integrations - Open-source Secure MCP Framework SDK (Python/JavaScript) for custom tool creation - MCP Gateway: single-URL, curated tool collections with centralized governance and RBAC - Agent lifecycle governance: audit logs, observability, compliance reporting - Flexible deployment: cloud-hosted, VPC, on-premises, or fully air-gapped - Bring-Your-Own-Credentials (BYOC) support for Pro tool executions - SOC 2 certified; SSO/SAML and RBAC for enterprise plans ### Target users - AI/ML engineers building production multi-user agents - Platform/infrastructure teams governing enterprise MCP tool access - Startups and ISVs embedding agentic AI into SaaS products - Enterprise security and DevOps teams requiring compliant agent deployments - Developers using Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Desktop for AI-assisted workflows ### Key use cases - Deploying production multi-user AI agents that take authenticated actions across SaaS apps - AI sales agents reading CRM data and sending emails or updating records on behalf of reps - AI assistants in Slack or Teams that access Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, and other tools - Agentic e-commerce workflows: search, compare, and checkout with AI-managed payments - Enterprise platform teams governing MCP tool access across engineering, sales, and support personas - AI coding agents in Cursor or VS Code with authenticated access to GitHub and Linear - Internal developer tooling to build and deploy custom MCP servers with built-in OAuth Integrations ecosystem: Arcade offers 40+ native pre-built tool integrations across categories: Productivity & Docs (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, Notion, Confluence, Dropbox, Asana, ClickUp, SharePoint, Linear); Communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Reddit); Developer Tools (GitHub, E2B sandboxes, Firecrawl, Daytona); Sales & CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot); Finance & Payments (Stripe, partnership with Lithic for agentic payments); Customer Support (Zendesk); Search (Google Search, Google Finance, Google Maps, Google News, YouTube, Walmart). The platform is compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot Studio, and any MCP client. Agent-framework integrations include LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, AG2, and Vercel AI. Arcade is a Gold Member of the Linux Foundation's Agentic Artificial Intelligence Foundation (AAIF) and actively contributes to MCP authorization specification development with Anthropic. Pricing summary: Usage-based pricing across three tiers. Hobby (free): 100 user authorization challenges, 1,000 standard tool executions, 50 pro tool executions, 1 Arcade-hosted MCP server included. Growth ($25/month): 600 user challenges (then $0.05 each), 2,000 standard executions (then $0.01 each), 100 pro executions (then $0.50 each), hosted MCP servers at $0.05/hour, email SLA support. Enterprise (custom): dedicated tenant isolation, audit logs, RBAC, SSO/SAML, dedicated account rep, custom SLAs. A startup program with discounted access is available for companies under 100 employees, nonprofits, and educational institutions. Bring-Your-Own-Credentials (BYOC) reduces pro tool execution costs. Review summary: Arcade.dev lacks a substantial presence on mainstream review platforms (G2, Gartner Peer Insights) as of early 2025, consistent with its early-stage status. Developer sentiment gathered from Product Hunt, technical blog commentary, and named customer testimonials is strongly positive. Practitioners highlight the elimination of OAuth refresh-token headaches, the single-command path from local prototype to production MCP server, and the quality of framework integrations. LangChain's founding engineer described it as 'the best platform to facilitate secure and interactive MCP.' Snyk's Head of Developer & Security Relations called it 'insanely useful—finally a product that lets AI agents actually do stuff.' The most cited friction points in early developer commentary relate to the broader MCP ecosystem immaturity and the cost structure of Pro tool executions at scale. Competitive positioning: Arcade.dev positions itself as the only purpose-built MCP (Model Context Protocol) runtime for production AI agents, differentiating on three axes: (1) authentication-first design using per-user OAuth rather than shared service accounts, preventing LLMs from ever seeing raw tokens; (2) a pre-built catalog of 8,000+ agent-optimized tool integrations that are more than raw API wrappers; and (3) enterprise deployment flexibility (cloud, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped). Its founding team alumni from Okta/Stormpath and Redis gives it unique credibility at the intersection of auth and AI infra—a combination that general auth vendors (Auth0, Stytch, WorkOS) and integration-layer competitors (Composio, Nango) do not replicate. Arcade targets the gap where MCP adoption stalls: moving from localhost demos to secure, multi-user, enterprise-grade agent deployments. Limitations: MCP protocol itself still maturing—Arcade's docs note that 99% of existing MCP servers are single-user and lack robust multi-user auth; Arcade's runtime bridges this gap but enterprises face broader ecosystem immaturity. Pro tool executions carry additional per-call costs that can compound at scale. Dedicated tenant isolation and compliance features (audit logs, RBAC, SSO/SAML) are Enterprise-tier only. Bring-Your-Own-Credentials is required for some Pro tools to control costs. Early-stage company (founded February 2024) with a relatively small team, which may present enterprise support and SLA concerns for the largest deployments. No verified presence on G2 or Gartner Peer Insights as of Q2 2025, limiting third-party review signal. ### Source urls - https://www.arcade.dev/ - https://www.arcade.dev/pricing - https://www.arcade.dev/tools - https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/18/arcade-raises-12m-from-perplexity-co-founders-new-fund-to-make-ai-agents-less-awful/ - https://www.finsmes.com/2025/03/arcade-dev-raises-12m-in-seed-funding.html - https://docs.arcade.dev/home/mcp-overview - https://blog.arcade.dev/the-mcp-framework-that-grows-with-you-from-localhost-to-production - https://blog.arcade.dev/mcp-runtime-gateway - https://www.producthunt.com/products/secure-mcp-framework - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250318815130/en/Arcade.dev-Scores-$12M-to-Solve-the-Biggest-Security-Problem-with-AI-Agents Reviewed at: 2026-04-28T23:34:44.464+00:00 ### Customer outcomes | Customer | Summary | Metric | | --- | --- | --- | | YUR | Using Arcade, YUR authenticated users' Twitter and LinkedIn accounts for their AI agent without managing refresh tokens, broken auth, or OAuth setup complexity, eliminating a major integration burden. | Not available | | Sybill | Sybill built an AI sales agent that analyzes calls, emails, and CRM data; with Arcade the agent takes secure actions in those systems on behalf of sales reps, turning it from an assistant into a revenue-driving tool. | Not available | | Eddo Learning | Eddo Learning bypassed Google service integration complexity using Arcade, enabling faster development of AI assistant tools for teachers. | Not available | ### Reviews breakdown ### Review themes #### Praised - Eliminates OAuth/refresh-token complexity for agent developers - Single-command path from local prototype to production MCP server - Strong developer experience and clean Python SDK - Agents act as the end user, not a shared service account - Large and growing catalog of agent-optimized integrations - Easy composability across LLM frameworks and architectures - SOC 2 certification and enterprise security posture #### Criticized - Pro tool execution costs can compound at scale - Enterprise features (RBAC, audit logs, SSO) locked to custom-priced tier - Broader MCP ecosystem still maturing, creating protocol-level friction - Limited third-party review coverage—early-stage brand recognition - 99% of existing MCP servers are single-user, limiting interoperability ### Company facts Founded year: 2024 Hq: San Francisco, CA, USA #### Founders - Alex Salazar - Sam Partee Employees range: 20-50 Total funding: $12M Valuation: Not available Arr: Not available Customer count: Not available Status: Private Readiness: Not available ## Ranking | Display name | Pair count | Total pairs | Presence percent | Avg position | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Auth0 | 37 | 150 | 24.666666666666668 | 8.776119402985074 | | WorkOS | 30 | 150 | 20 | 12.955555555555556 | | Nango | 24 | 150 | 16 | 8.846153846153847 | | Composio | 23 | 150 | 15.333333333333332 | 14.528301886792454 | | Arcade.dev | 22 | 150 | 14.666666666666666 | 11.311111111111112 | | Merge | 14 | 150 | 9.333333333333334 | 6.645161290322581 | | Stytch | 14 | 150 | 9.333333333333334 | 16.869565217391305 | | Descope | 10 | 150 | 6.666666666666667 | 12.4 | | Oasis Security | 2 | 150 | 1.3333333333333335 | 2.5 | | Astrix Security | 1 | 150 | 0.6666666666666667 | 1 | | Better Auth | 0 | 150 | 0 | Not available | | Keycard.ai | 0 | 150 | 0 | Not available | | Operant AI | 0 | 150 | 0 | Not available | ## Platform breakdown | Platform | Prompt count | Presence rate | | --- | --- | --- | | google-ai | 5 | 20 | | google-ai-mode | 1 | 4 | | bing-copilot-search | 9 | 36 | | perplexity | 1 | 4 | | chatgpt-search | 1 | 4 | | xai-search | 5 | 20 | ## Strengths | Prompt text | Platform count | Avg position | | --- | --- | --- | | I'm evaluating agent auth tools for a multi-cloud setup — which ones support cross-environment policy enforcement and audit trails?
