arcade-mcp is the MCP framework that grows with you. Launch a secure MCP server with built in Auth, zero setup, and no rewrites. Write clean Python, scale to production, and connect tools like Gmail or Slack in one line. Open source, eval ready, and works with LangGraph, Cursor, Claude, and more.

This is exactly what the MCP ecosystem needs. I've built a few localhost-only MCP servers and the thought of adding proper auth and deploying them securely felt like a massive hurdle. The fact that this handles delegated access and secret management out of the box is a game-changer.

@chrishicken Exactly! Going from "it works on my computer" to a properly secure agent deployed in production is the number one reason why agents are stuck in demo mode. We hope people use arcade-mcp to avoid this hap altogether!

@chrishicken can’t wait to hear your feedback once you try it.
Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev
@chrishicken Totally agree! Would love to hear your feedback when you give it a try!
Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev
@chrishicken Appreciate it. We understand that feeling well, watching a localhost setup work and hitting the auth wall. That's precisely why we built this to handle it from day one.
@chrishicken I am curious what kind of impact this will have on you ? Like does it reduced your go live timeframe for MCP servers or simplifies your development workflow or it just accelarates the desire to build agents without hesitation ?
Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev
@chrishicken @gsattanathan Good question Guru!
From what I've heard, reducing the development workflow is a common benefit I've heard.

We kept seeing the same thing: cool MCP demos that only work on localhost.
When we started building real agents, we hit the same pain - auth broke, secrets leaked, and deploying to production meant rewriting everything. So we built a framework to fix it.
arcade-mcp. the secure MCP framework is an open-source server framework for building and deploying MCP servers that actually scale. It handles:
Auth flows and delegated access
Secret management (never exposed to the model)
One-command deploy from localhost to production
We’ve been using it internally to run hundreds of MCP servers and thousands of tools - now it’s yours too. If you’re tired of fighting just to get an agent online, then give it a spin.
@ericgustin Would love to see built-in observability or tracing hooks in future versions.

@ericgustin @masump we emit Otel metrics and logs currently so any consumer (datadog, grafana, etc) can connect and view, but would love to hear more about what you want here in a github issue.
Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev
@ericgustin @masump We'd love to hear what specific visibility would be most useful for your setup. What's helpful? Tool execution traces, auth flow insights, or something else? Let's make it happen! 🚀
@ericgustin @masump What are you trying to keep an eye on as you ask for observability features ? What are you generally concerned about ? Tool calls / usage ? or tracing who is calling what ? or for more for infrastructure stability ?

I'm so happy about this going live!
arcade-mcp, the secure MCP framework provides a robust development framework for MCP servers, especially by managing authentication for you, connecting to any third-party system. We know auth can be a huge hurdle, and we made it seamless.
My favorite feature has to be how incredibly easy it makes building a local MCP server and securely deploying it in a single step. We really focused on taking the headache out of getting a production-grade MCP server up and running quickly.
If you've ever wanted to turn that weekend project into a real agent people can use, then give arcade-mcp a try.

@torresmateo Huge shout-out to you and all your help on this! 🚀
Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev
@torresmateo It's awesome to see all of this hard work come to fruition 😃
I've used the Secure MCP Framework by Arcade.dev multiple times now and it's been a breeze each time. I converted some of my old helper scripts into a simple MCP server with minimal code.
