Setup Guide

1

Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

Create Arcade Account →
2

Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to MCP Gateway page in Arcade, then click Create MCP Gateway.

Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:

Gmail.ListEmails
Gmail.SendEmail
Gmail.ReplyToEmail
GoogleSheets.GetSpreadsheet
GoogleSheets.UpdateCells
GoogleSheets.CreateSpreadsheet
Linkedin.CreateTextPost
GoogleSearch.Search
Choose your tools in Arcade MCP Gateway

Why this matters: Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 8 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.
