Ship agents, not auth infrastructure — the secure action layer for production AI agents.
Arcade.dev is an MCP runtime and secure action layer that gives production AI agents user-scoped authorization, reliable tool-calling, and full governance across enterprise systems. It's built for teams moving agents from pilots to thousands of production workflows without over-privileged service accounts.

Key Features
- ✓Agent authorization
Agents act as authenticated users with dynamic, IdP-based permissions scoped to a single action; credentials never leave the runtime.
- ✓Agent-optimized tools
8,000+ MCP tools purpose-built so user intent maps to the right API call the first time, reducing hallucinations and retries.
- ✓Central control plane
Unified auditing, policy enforcement, and action logging of which agent acted on behalf of which user against which resource.
- ✓Framework and model agnostic
Works with any LLM and agent framework — Claude, Codex, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI — and any MCP client.
- ✓Enterprise identity integration
Connects to Okta, Entra, and SailPoint with SOC 2, SSO, RBAC, and full audit logs across cloud, on-prem, air-gapped, and hybrid deployments.
