Deployment Notification Tracker

Announces deployments to relevant Slack channels, tracks what was deployed, notifies on rollbacks, and maintains deployment history. Creates transparency around releases.

Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

Github
Slack
Linear

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.

Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what you'll configure in Agent Builder):

Example: If you choose slug my-agent, your MCP URL will be:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent
3

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:

Github.ListPullRequests
Github.GetPullRequest
Github.CreatePullRequest
Slack.SendMessage
Slack.ListConversations
Slack.GetMessages
Linear.ListIssues
Linear.CreateIssue
Linear.UpdateIssue
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 9 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.

Create the gateway and copy your MCP URL

Click Create Gateway. Copy the MCP URL — this is all you need to connect to LangSmith!

Example MCP URL:
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent

No tokens needed! Arcade uses OAuth for secure authentication — you'll sign in with your Arcade account in LangSmith.
