# Arcade MCP

**Open-source Python framework for building MCP servers and tools.**

[Documentation](https://docs.arcade.dev) • [Examples](examples/mcp_servers/) • [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/GUZEMpEZ9p)

## What is arcade-mcp

`arcade-mcp` is the Python framework for building [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) servers and the tools that run inside them. It powers the 7,500+ prebuilt tools across 81 MCP servers at [Arcade.dev](https://arcade.dev), and is open-sourced so you can build your own.

Use it when you need MCP tools that aren't already in the prebuilt catalog: internal APIs, custom OAuth providers, domain-specific integrations.

**Highlights:**

- Decorator API covering the full MCP spec: tools, resources, prompts, sampling, elicitation, progress, logging.
- [Authorized tool calling](#authorized-tool-calling). Declare `requires_auth=GitHub(scopes=["repo"])` and Arcade handles OAuth, token refresh, and per-call scoping. The client and the LLM never see the token.
- Vendor-neutral. Any MCP client, any LLM, any agent framework (LangChain, Mastra, Pydantic AI, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents).
- `arcade evals` for testing tool-call accuracy against real LLMs.
- `arcade deploy` for one-command hosting on Arcade Cloud.

## Authorized tool calling

Tools can declare:
