MCP-native tool execution platform connecting AI agents to 8,000+ enterprise tools with hosted MCP servers, pre-built authentication, and usage-based pricing from free to $25 per month.

Arcade is an MCP-native tool execution, hosting, and governance platform built by Arcade AI, Inc that enables AI agents to connect to and take actions in external services through pre-built, authenticated integrations and Arcade-hosted MCP servers. The platform now claims over 8,000 enterprise tools with 43 named integrations including built-in authentication, positioning it as the largest catalog of agent-optimized tools with built-in auth in the MCP ecosystem. Arcade is designed around the Model Context Protocol from the ground up, providing agents with standardized tool interfaces for services including GitHub, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, and others without requiring developers to manage OAuth flows or credential storage themselves. Every pricing tier including the free Hobby plan includes MCP compatibility and Arcade-hosted MCP server capacity. The platform works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Copilot Studio, Cursor, and VS Code. Named customers include LangChain, Snyk, Relevance AI, Prosus, and YUR. Integration coverage has expanded dramatically from 60 services at the previous audit to over 8,000 enterprise tools with 43 named integrations and built-in authentication as of June 2026. Named gaps: the platform is developer-facing and requires SDK integration for all use cases; there is no no-code interface for non-technical users; and enterprise compliance documentation requires a sales engagement as no public trust or security page exists. Pricing verified live on arcade.dev/pricing as of June 2026. Hobby (Free) at $0 includes 100 user challenges per month, 1,000 standard tool executions per month, 50 pro tool executions per month, 1 Arcade-hosted MCP server, and community support via GitHub. Growth at $25 per month includes 600 user challenges (then $0.05 each), 2,000 standard tool executions (then $0.01 each), 100 pro tool executions (then $0.50 each), Arcade-hosted MCP servers at $0.05 per hour, and email support with SLA. Enterprise is custom-priced and adds dedicated tenant isolation, audit logs and compliance reporting, RBAC, SSO and SAML authentication, and a dedicated account representative. A startup programme is available for companies under 100 employees, nonprofits, and educational institutions. User challenges are one-time per service per end-user: after initial OAuth authorization, subsequent tool calls to the same service execute without re-authentication. Privacy note: the Arcade privacy policy explicitly states that user data is used for purposes including training Arcade AI models. Arcade is not the right fit for non-technical teams: the platform requires SDK integration and there is no visual interface for business users; Zapier (from $19.99 per month) and Make (from $9 per month) provide no-code workflow automation for business users connecting the same class of SaaS tools without requiring SDK integration. Teams with security procurement requirements that mandate SOC 2 before vendor approval will need to engage Arcade sales for Enterprise documentation, as no public trust center or security page exists. Organizations with strict data training policies should note that Arcade's privacy policy states user data may be used for training Arcade AI models, with no opt-out mentioned: Composio (from free, 1,000 plus integrations) explicitly states it does not train on user data. Current state Q2 2026: Arcade has expanded its tool catalog from 60 services to over 8,000 enterprise tools, a significant leap that positions it as the largest agent-optimized tool catalog in the MCP ecosystem. The homepage now features named customer logos from LangChain, Snyk, Relevance AI, Prosus, and YUR under the banner "Trusted by teams deploying production AI agents." The GitHub repository (ArcadeAI/arcade-mcp) has 932 stars. G2 presence stands at 6 reviews at 4.7 stars. Harrison Chase (LangChain co-founder and CEO) is quoted endorsing Arcade as making MCP enterprise-ready. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification has been announced publicly as of this audit.

Pros & Limitations

Editorial assessment

Pros

  • MCP-native architecture with Arcade-hosted MCP servers included on every plan from free upward: developers get managed server infrastructure compatible with Claude Desktop, Copilot Studio, Cursor, and VS Code rather than self-hosting MCP servers, removing the operational overhead that makes MCP adoption harder for smaller teams
  • Over 8,000 enterprise tools with 43 named integrations and pre-built OAuth authentication: agents get authorized access to external tools without developers building or managing credential flows, and user challenges for new permissions are one-time per service with all subsequent calls authenticated automatically
  • Startup programme for companies under 100 employees, nonprofits, and educational institutions provides access beyond the standard free tier limits, relevant for early-stage AI teams building on MCP who need more capacity than the Hobby plan allows

Limitations

  • Privacy policy explicitly states user data is used for purposes including training Arcade AI models, with no opt-out mentioned: teams with data sensitivity requirements should review the privacy policy carefully and compare with Composio (1,000 plus integrations, explicit no-training policy) before deploying production workloads
  • No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification confirmed from any public documentation: enterprise compliance documentation requires a sales engagement, creating friction for security procurement teams evaluating the platform before purchase
  • No no-code interface for non-technical users: the platform requires SDK integration for all use cases, meaning business teams cannot use Arcade without engineering involvement; Zapier (from $19.99 per month) and Make (from $9 per month) serve non-developers connecting the same class of SaaS tools
