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

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:

GoogleDocs.CreateDocumentFromText
GoogleDocs.GetDocumentAsDocmd
GoogleDocs.EditDocument
GoogleSlides.CreatePresentation
GoogleSlides.GetPresentationAsMarkdown
GoogleSlides.CreateSlide
Slack.SendMessage
Slack.ListConversations
Slack.GetMessages
GoogleSheets.GetSpreadsheet
GoogleSheets.UpdateCells
GoogleSheets.CreateSpreadsheet
Firecrawl.ScrapeUrl
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 13 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.
