Employee Onboarding Coordinator

Automates new hire onboarding by creating accounts, scheduling orientations, assigning buddies, sending welcome materials, and tracking completion of onboarding tasks.

Toolkits Needed

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

Asana
Slack
Gmail
GoogleDocs

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:

Asana.GetTasksWithoutId
Asana.CreateTask
Asana.UpdateTask
Slack.SendMessage
Slack.ListConversations
Slack.GetMessages
Gmail.ListEmails
Gmail.SendEmail
Gmail.ReplyToEmail
GoogleDocs.CreateDocumentFromText
GoogleDocs.GetDocumentAsDocmd
GoogleDocs.EditDocument
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 12 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:
