arcade-mcp

MCP Server Framework and Tool Development library for building custom capabilities into agents.

About arcade-mcp

arcade-mcp is the Python framework for building Model Context Protocol servers and the tools that run inside them. It powers the 7,500+ prebuilt tools across 81 MCP servers at Arcade.dev, and is open-sourced so you can build your own.

Use it when you need MCP tools that aren't already in the prebuilt catalog: internal APIs, custom OAuth providers, domain-specific integrations.

The secrets (OAuth tokens, API keys, etc) are securely injected by Arcade into your tool call at runtime, so that your tool can authorize requests to upstream APIs, for example. The client and the LLM never see the secret values.

From the project's README

arcade-mcp is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 947 stars on GitHub. It was last updated in July 2026.
