No fluff. Just deep dives into tool-calling and agent auth to make your AI actually useful.
Anthropic just released Fable 5, the most capable model they have ever made generally available. More subagents and longer autonomy also mean an exponentially larger authorization surface. Here's what that means for enterprise AI teams.
The Arcade.dev team is always building, and now you can share the fun at Arcade Labs: our public home for research, prototypes, and experiments, launching today with Omni.
Microsoft Build 2026 made MCP the default integration layer across Foundry, Agent 365, Microsoft IQ, Copilot, and the local agent stack.
Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 take the same cross-app Arcade task: read Slides, write a Doc, and send email. The winner depends on what you value.
Your AI agent prototype works—until it starts acting on behalf of other people. These are the six signs your in-house agents have outgrown DIY plumbing and need an MCP runtime for identity, policy, audit, integrations, reuse, and risk ownership.
Connect Arcade.dev MCP Gateways to the identity provider your company already runs. Deploying an agent to ten people or ten thousand looks the same.
A CISO-grade rubric for AI agent governance, organized around the four concerns every CISO faces in production — and the six runtime capabilities that turn governance from spreadsheets into enforceable controls at every tool call.
Multi-user AI agents need a delegated authorization stack — OAuth 2.1, OIDC, and an MCP runtime that enforces the user/agent intersection at every tool call. This guide breaks down the nine capabilities, two identities, and one strict rule that production deployments need in 2026.
MCP runtime build vs. buy in 2026 hinges on multi-user auth, audit-grade governance, and the ongoing maintenance load of custom OAuth and policy. This guide walks engineering leaders through the decision criteria and four tipping points.
Arcade.dev's guide to LangChain Interrupt 2026 (May 13–14, San Francisco): the must-see sessions and the agent infrastructure questions AI engineers and executives should be asking.
Most agents either forget everything between sessions or remember the wrong things in someone else's database. There's a third option: a memory layer you actually own.
Claude Code Routines enable unattended, cloud-run workflows via scheduled, API, and GitHub event triggers — but demo-grade setups break under enterprise load. Here are five production-leaning routines for engineering teams plus the MCP runtime patterns that make them safe to ship.
A 2026 taxonomy of the MCP ecosystem — registries, gateways, and runtimes — plus a feature-by-feature comparison of 8 platforms on per-user auth, audit logs, and private infrastructure support.
Anthropic just published a deep dive on the infrastructure behind their Managed Agents. It's excellent work on the agent's brain—and it highlights exactly what Arcade.dev solves for the hands.
Vercel and Context.ai disclosed a chained breach widely reported as an 'AI incident.' It wasn't. Context.ai had stored a Vercel employee's broadly-scoped Google Workspace OAuth token on its servers. When Context.ai's AWS got breached, the attacker replayed the token, logged in as the employee, pivoted into Vercel, and walked out with customer environment variables — later listed for $2M on BreachForums. No model was jailbroken. The vulnerability is a 2010s-era OAuth token hoarding pattern, and AI just made the vaults more valuable.
Five SRE workflows — incident triage, runbook execution, postmortem drafting, SLO investigation, on-call handoffs — that Claude Code can run today, and the auth, scope, and audit gap that decides whether they make the rotation.
Every developer has the same fantasy: wake up, get a voice briefing of everything that matters, and move on. I finally built it — in 15 minutes, with zero traditional code.
In just twenty-seven months, Anthropic went from $87 million to $30 billion in annualized revenue, surpassing OpenAI. Here's how strategic focus on enterprise, Claude Code, and MCP created one of the fastest revenue reversals in tech history.

Melissa Herrera is a Senior Developer Advocate at Temporal who previously built multi-agent systems at DataStax and Langflow. She's now making the case that the fragility of complex agentic tool-calling chains is a solved problem if you treat your tools as workflows rather than fire-and-forget functions.
ToolBench grades every MCP server across definition quality, protocol compliance, security, and supportability. 41,902 servers indexed. Only 0.5% earned an A or above.
Jack Herrington has been shipping JavaScript for 40 years and educating developers on YouTube as the Blue Collar Coder. As a core contributor to TanStack, he's now building TanStack AI, a type-safe, provider-agnostic SDK for adding AI to web apps. Its upcoming Code Mode feature shows what happens when you let agents orchestrate MCP tools with TypeScript.
I've been thinking a lot about how coding agents interact with external services. At Arcade.dev, we build agentic tools, so I spend most of my days watching AI agents try to do real things in the real world. And one pattern keeps bugging me. We're building increasingly complex integrations to connect coding agents to MCP servers. Custom SDKs, persistent connections, elaborate client configurations. But here's the thing: these agents already know how to use the CLI. They've been trained on millions of shell sessions. curl, git, docker, npm. They know the patterns. Flags, stdin, stdout, pipes, exit codes it's all in there. So why are we teaching them a new interface?
Arcade's Salesforce MCP server went from 3 tools to 17 — covering leads, opportunities, tasks, and call logging. Your AI agent can now handle the full CRM workflow from first touch to closed deal.
Five new Arcade.dev Optimized MCP servers give your AI agent full read and write access across Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and SharePoint — over 30 tools for real document automation.
Arcade's Microsoft Office 365 MCP servers give your agent full read and write access across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Over 30 production-grade tools — handling binary file formats, session management, concurrent edits, and the OAuth maze that is Microsoft Graph — so you don't have to.
Michael Hablich has spent 20 years building developer tools at Google. Now he's giving coding agents the same debugging superpowers that Chrome DevTools gave web developers over a decade ago. Meet Chrome DevTools’s MCP Server

Daytona's sandboxes are now available as agent-ready tools through Arcade.dev — 46 tools for sandbox management, code execution, file operations, Git workflows, and more, designed for autonomous AI agents.
Sam Morrow and his colleagues started building GitHub's MCP server as an internal side project. One year and a bumpy start later, it's the most-used remote MCP server in the world. Sam has much to teach us about scaling tool design, auth, and what agents actually need from an enterprise server.
We benchmarked two Attio MCP toolkits across 8 CRM queries. Arcade.dev consumed 7,426 tokens. Composio consumed 747,083. Here's the full breakdown of what caused the gap and what it means at scale.
Tool definitions are not function signatures. They are menu items an LLM reads to decide what to call and how to fill the arguments. This post covers what separates good tool definitions from bad ones, with before/after examples and a practical checklist.
Tool quality directly affects agent reliability. Arcade.dev Evals lets you test MCP tool definitions against LLM behavior in simulated conversations, scoring whether the model selects the right tool and populates arguments correctly, before you deploy to production.
Paul Asjes has been building SDKs at Stripe and WorkOS for years. Now, as DevX Lead at ElevenLabs, he's rethinking what developer education means when the learner is a developer's agent.
TL;DR: Arcade.dev protects AI agent tool execution with delegated identity, scoped tool access, and governance. Today we're extending that security model with Contextual Access: runtime hooks that let you inject your own security, compliance, and filtering logic directly into the tool execution pipeline across three hook points, via any webhook on every tool call.
Alex Nahas built MCP inside a browser at Amazon. Now Microsoft and Google are turning it into a W3C standard. This article is adapted from Alex's interview in our video series MCP MVP. Episode 1 features Alex Nahas, creator of MCP-B and a driving force behind the WebMCP specification.
The Moment Every few years, a new pattern language emerges that changes how we build software. In 1994, the Gang of Four gave us Design Patterns. In 2003, Hohpe and Woolf gave us Enterprise Integration Patterns. Since then: Microservices Patterns, Cloud Patterns, and now Agent Patterns. But there's a gap. Agents can chat and reason on their own - but they can't ‘act’ without tools. Standards like MCP have unlocked how agents discover and call tools. The protocol layer is solved. What's missin
OpenClaw (a.k.a. Moltbot, a.k.a. ClawdBot) went viral and became one of the most popular agentic harnesses in a matter of days. Peter Steinberger had a successful exit from PSPDFKit, and felt empty until the undeniable potential of AI sparked renewed motivation to build. And he's doing it it non-stop. OpenClaw approaches the idea of an Personal AI agent as a harness that communicates with you (or multiple users) in any of the supported channels in multiple sessions connected to the underlying
Before building vector infrastructure, consider federation: AI agents with tool access to your existing systems. For most enterprise use cases, that's all you need. Someone told you to pivot to AI. Add an AI layer. “We need to be AI-first.” Fair enough. So you start thinking: what does AI need? Data. Obviously. So the playbook writes itself: collect data in a central place, set up a vector database, do some chunking, build a RAG pipeline, maybe fine-tune a model. Then query it. Ship the chatb
MCP makes it easy to go from “agent” to “agent that takes action.” The trap is that success compounds: every new system becomes a new server, every team ships “just one more tool,” and soon your integration surface is too large to reason about, too inconsistent to secure, and too messy to operate. Meanwhile, the model gets blamed for failure modes that are actually integration design problems. Tool definitions balloon. Selection accuracy drops. Context gets eaten before anyone types a prompt. A
While building an AI demo has become trivially easy, production-grade deployments in enterprises have been stifled by performance issues, costs, and security vulnerabilities that their teams have been warning about. Today, we're addressing one of those vulnerabilities head-on. A new class of identity attack Security researchers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong recently identified new variants of COAT (Cross-app OAuth Account Takeover), an identity phishing attack targeting agentic AI a
Most conversations about AI agents still start the same way: models, prompts, frameworks, followed by an incredible looking demo. Then someone asks, “Okay… when can it ship to production?” That’s where things get a little awkward. The naked truth in the fading demo afterglow is that agents are apps. Which means they need identity, permissions, real integrations, and a way to behave predictably when something goes sideways. Without these components, any agent can dazzle a boardroom, but it won
AI agents have moved quickly from experimentation to real-world deployment. Over the past year, organizations have gone from asking whether agents work to figuring out how to deploy enterprise AI agents reliably at scale. The 2026 State of AI Agents Report from the Claude team captures this shift clearly. Drawing on insights from teams building with modern LLM agents—including those powered by models from providers like Anthropic—the report offers a grounded view of how agentic systems are bein
We spend a lot of time thinking about how to safely give AI agents access to real systems. Some of that is personal curiosity, and some of it comes from the work we do at Arcade.dev building agent infrastructure—especially the parts that tend to break once you move past toy demos. So when Docker released Docker Sandboxes, which let AI coding agents run inside an isolated container instead of directly on your laptop, we wanted to try it for real. Not as a demo, but on an actual codebase, doing the k
Docker recently announced Docker Sandboxes, a lightweight, containerized environment designed to let coding agents work with your project files without exposing your entire machine. It’s a thoughtful addition to the ecosystem and a clear sign that agent tooling is maturing. Sandboxing helps solve an important problem: agents need room to operate. They install packages, run code, and modify files — and giving them that freedom without exposing your laptop makes everyone sleep a little better. B
Right now, somewhere in San Francisco, a foundation model company is losing money serving your API call. OpenAI spent $8.67 billion on inference in the first nine months of 2025—nearly double their revenue for the same period. Sam Altman publicly admitted they lose money on $200-per-month ChatGPT Pro subscriptions. Anthropic burns 70% of every dollar they bring in. These companies are pricing their products below cost, subsidized by the largest concentration of venture capital in technology his
If you've been using Cursor, Claude Desktop*, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client, you've probably experienced the same frustration: your agent is brilliant at reasoning through workflows, but the moment it needs to actually do something across your tools, you're back to juggling configurations for each individual tool, debugging auth flows, and troubleshooting why the setup that worked yesterday doesn't work today. Those days are over. With the launch of Arcade MCP Gateways, your MCP client
The agent ecosystem has a terminology problem that masks a real architectural choice. "Tools" and "skills" get used interchangeably in marketing decks and conference talks, but they represent fundamentally different approaches to extending agent capabilities. Understanding this distinction is the difference between building agents that work in demos versus agents that work in production. But here's the uncomfortable truth that gets lost in the semantic debates: from the agent's perspective, it'
TL;DR: Anthropic's new Tool Search is a step in the right direction-but if you're running 4,000+ tools across multiple services, it might not be ready for prime time. The promise Anthropic's Tool Search promises to let Claude "access thousands of tools without consuming its context window." Music to our ears. At Arcade, we maintain thousands of agent-optimized tools across Gmail, Slack, GitHub, HubSpot, Salesforce, and dozens more platforms. If anyone was going to stress-test this feature, it
I was recently in Amsterdam meeting with some of the largest enterprises, and they all raised the same challenge: how to give AI agents access to more tools without everything falling apart? The issue is that as soon as they hit 20-30 tools, token costs became untenable and selection accuracy plummeted. The pain has been so acute that many teams have been attempting (unsuccessfully) to build their own workarounds with RAG pipelines, only to hit performance walls. That's why I'm excited about
It’s popular to test Large Language Models (LLMs) by asking them to solve difficult puzzles, like multiplying huge numbers. These tests are interesting research benchmarks, but they can miss something important: real-world usefulness. When was the last time you asked a coworker to multiply a 20-digit number in their head, without a calculator? Real-world usefulness is not always well-represented by artificial benchmarks. Throughout history, humans have invented tools to boost their abilities: c

Arcade's AI tool-calling platform solves this challenge through Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to securely act on behalf of users with delegated permissio
You tell your AI agent: “Send that report to my manager.” It drafts the perfect message — and then stops. The problem isn’t intelligence; it’s identity. It can’t press “send,” because your email — like every good enterprise system — lives behind an auth wall. That’s the invisible barrier keeping AI from doing real work: agents can’t safely act on behalf of their users. That small roadblock points to a much bigger one. AI agents can reason, plan, and communicate — but they’ve been locked out

The biggest unlock for production AI agents isn't better models—it's accepting that agents are just applications. That sounds obvious. Maybe even boring. But this one realization cuts through years of confusion, eliminates entire categories of "new" security problems, and makes multi-user agent deployment actually feasible. Here's why it matters. The Non-Human Identity Trap When agents started hitting the enterprise conversation around 2023, identity companies rushed to define the problem.
OpenAI just dropped AgentKit at DevDay, and the demos look clean—visual workflow builders, embedded chat interfaces, evaluation frameworks. Ramp went from blank canvas to live buyer agent in hours instead of months. LY Corporation built a multi-agent workflow in under two hours. But here's what the launch post doesn't tell you: most of those demos will hit a wall before production. What AgentKit Actually Shipped AgentKit is three things bundled together: Agent Builder gives you a visual can
Your agent needs to pull data from Google Drive, post a summary to Slack, and create a Jira ticket. Simple request. But whose credentials does it use? Should it have permission to delete your entire Drive folder? This authorization problem kills agent demos before they reach production. It's not about users logging into your agent (LangGraph Platform handles that). It's about your agent accessing other services on behalf of those users. If you're building real agents, you've hit this wall. The
Picture this: You walk into a newly opened restaurant for the first time, excited by the positive reviews, and confidently stride to a window-side table. As soon as you're settled, the waiter approaches, but before they can speak, you say, "The usual, please." The waiter stares at you like you've lost your mind. They've never seen you before. They have no idea what "the usual" means. That's your AI agent every time you start a new conversation. It has absolutely no idea who you are, what you w
The 70% of AI projects that never reach production have something in common: they hit the authentication wall and never recover. Tradestack broke through it by leveraging Arcade.dev’s capabilities. When Vaibhav Pandey and his team at Tradestack set out to build an agentic back office for UK contractors, they faced a challenge that kills most agent projects: giving AI secure, reliable access to critical business systems. Their target customers (mid-market contractors juggling invoicing, estimates,
Today, we’re launching the second iteration of our pricing plan. We’re walking through the details so you can see how we’re making our authorization and tool management platform accessible to even more developers and their agents. Our goal is to get your agents into production. This involves not just calling well-designed, LLM-consumable tools, but also authorizing many end users into your agent, which is not yet possible with MCP Servers. Our first pricing plan charged based on the number of
Here's a fact that keeps enterprise CTOs up at night: 70% of AI agent projects never reach production. The primary killer? Security reviews that reveal agents can't be trusted with enterprise systems. Today, Arcade.dev achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification. But unlike typical compliance announcements, this isn't about checking boxes. It's about solving the fundamental trust problem that blocks agent deployment (and we checked the boxes too). Why Agent Security Hits Different Traditional softwa
Most AI agents are glorified chatbots. Chex just won a hackathon by building three specialized agents that actually book therapy appointments. Not suggest. Not recommend. Actually book — complete with calendar invites and email confirmations. Here's the pattern they discovered that you can steal for your own agent systems. Want to skip to the code? Check out our Quickstart or get your Arcade.dev API key to build authenticated agents in minutes. The Problem: Single Agents Hit Walls Traditio
Remember that moment when you realized your phone could do more than make calls? Today feels like that—but bigger. Arcade.dev and Lithic just unlocked true agentic commerce: AI agents that can browse, compare, and actually complete purchases. This isn't another chatbot that helps you shop. This is autonomous AI that shops for you. The Agentic Commerce Problem We All Pretended Didn't Exist Here's the dirty secret: Every "agentic commerce" demo you've seen stops at checkout. Why? Because nobod

Yesterday started like any other day. Coffee, standup, code review. Then I heard about an incident that made me put down everything. An organization's AI agent had been compromised. Not through some exotic zero-day or sophisticated attack vector. No, this was far more elegant—and terrifying. Their LLM-powered browser agent had autonomously merged a malicious pull request on GitHub. As a real employee. With real permissions. The attack vector? A carefully crafted email sitting in the user's inb
After eight years building authentication systems at Okta, followed by stints at Kong and ngrok working on developer tools and API gateways, I've seen how to build systems that are secure by default. Now at Arcade.dev, I'm watching the MCP ecosystem struggle to get there. The Model Context Protocol has incredible potential for enabling AI agents to interact with real-world systems. But there's a gap between experimental implementations and production-ready infrastructure that most developers ar
Your AI can summarize documents you feed it, answer questions about your uploaded PDFs, and explain concepts from its training data. But ask it to pull your actual Q4 revenue from NetSuite, check real customer satisfaction scores, or update a deal in Salesforce? Suddenly it's just guessing—or worse, hallucinating numbers that sound plausible but aren't your data. This disconnect between AI's intelligence and its ability to access real data and take action is why less than 30% of AI projects hav
Arcade.dev just took home "Overall Authentication Solution of the Year" in the 8th Annual AI Breakthrough Awards. And before you roll your eyes at another tech award announcement, let me explain why this actually matters for anyone building AI agents that need to do real work. The Problem We All Keep Hitting You know that moment when your perfectly crafted AI agent suggests "I'll schedule that meeting for you" — and then... doesn't? Because it can't? Yeah, that's the wall everyone's been hit
In the previous post in this series, we explored Human-in-the-Loop. Here, we’re exploring Handoffs, which I prefer to call “Agentic Delegation” This post is a companion to a video, I encourage you to watch it! Here’s the experiment setup I’m using the same agentic system. I implemented the same system using three different Frameworks: * LangGraph * OpenAI’s Agents SDK * Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) In all cases, the agent uses a “supervisor” architecture, where a single agent re
I'm going to say what everyone's thinking: if your system just searches documents and paraphrases results, it's not an agent. It's a search engine with a natural language interface. You've traded precision for generalization and gained the thrilling possibility of hallucinations. But there's no agency, no autonomy, no ability to actually do anything beyond return text that might not even be right. Don't get me wrong—I've built plenty of RAG systems. Hell, I've got a dozen still running in prod
As I build agents every day, I get to see Agentic Frameworks evolve different approaches to solve the same core issues of agentic orchestration. Fundamentally, the differences come down to how the framework designers think about the common building blocks of an agentic system. Unfortunately, they all come with disparate terminology and adopt jargon that makes this seem more complicated than it really is. I feel this is creating a bit of a decision block, especially in beginners. This series of b
As the world becomes more and more agentic, it’s important to meet your users where they are, and this usually means providing them with polished UX in whatever communication platforms they use on a daily basis: * WhatsApp * Email * Telegram * Discord * Slack Adding a chatbot experience to chat-like interfaces is usually pretty easy. I just pick one of the existing LLM clients, add my API Key, a nice system prompt, and let users chat away. However, things quickly become complex if the age
At the Interrupt Conference, LangChain unveiled a new agent platform that allows developers to build and share AI agents. The platform leverages Arcade.dev's support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable agents to perform actions on behalf of users across hundreds of services.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is generating a lot of excitement right now. It’s a simple, elegant spec that makes it easy to expose functionality and contextual data to AI models in a structured way. Want to create GitHub issues or email stakeholders just by asking your code editor? It works great—locally. MCP enables some cool use cases on your local machine today. But what if you’re building something cloud-hosted? What if your agent runs in a browser, on a server, or in a cloud function? Th
Multi-agent AI systems represent one of the most significant advances in practical AI applications today. Unlike traditional single-agent approaches, multi-agent systems distribute complex tasks across specialized agents, each handling what they do best. In this article, we'll explore a practical example that uses specialized agents with access to Gmail and Slack tools. This involves the integration of two frameworks. The OpenAI Agents SDK will run and orchestrate the agents, and Arcade will
AI agents often need to access multiple services and data sources on behalf of users. This introduces unique authentication and authorization challenges that go beyond typical single sign-on (SSO) for human users. Unlike a standard web app, an AI agent might operate without a user interface and even make autonomous decisions. To keep these agents secure and effective, it's critical to use best practices like least-privilege access and just-in-time authentication, and to understand where traditio

We're excited to announce that Arcade.dev has raised $12M in seed funding to tackle the biggest bottleneck in AI: secure authentication for agents. Secure Authentication for Agents You probably use ChatGPT or Claude to write emails for you. But have you noticed that you can't send that email directly from those agents? You can work with AI to plan a meal but it can't order the ingredients. You might ask it to book flights, but it can't complete the transaction. Some products let you pull file
AI agents promise to transform how we interact with technology, but at what cost to our privacy? As these digital assistants gain the power to act on our behalf, they're raising fundamental questions about security that can no longer be ignored. The Security Gap in AI Action Signal President Meredith Whittaker recently warned about the security and privacy challenges of agentic AI, describing it as "putting your brain in a jar." Her concerns highlight a critical reality: for AI agents to be u
(And why this time the automation hype is real) The tech industry is great at overpromising automation. RPA convinced enterprises to spend billions on tools that broke whenever processes changed. Now AI is flooding the market with similar claims. But beneath the hype, something different is happening with AI agents. They're succeeding precisely where RPA failed - by bringing true adaptability to unstructured business processes. Here's the reality behind the promises. What is an AI Agent? Wha
LLMs acting on behalf of humans and interacting with real-world systems isn't theoretical anymore - with the advent of function calling, it is now a reality. And with Arcade.dev, function calling becomes a superpower that connects LLMs to authorized APIs, user services, and complex systems. With this shift, we're seeing the emergence of a new software practice: Machine Experience Engineering (MX Engineering).

72% of organizations use GenAI, yet only 26% extract real value. Explore how enterprises can overcome technical and organizational barriers to turn AI implementation into measurable business impact.
ChatGPT can't send emails, order food, or book flights. It can write SQL but can't query databases or work well with the data results. AI can't connect to the real world. It can't authenticate to access your accounts or use your data. This disconnect is partly why less than 30% of AI projects go to production. The biggest opportunity in AI today isn't better AI models—it's enabling those models to take real actions. Developers need secure connections between AI and authenticated services, user
