Let any agent use Arcade. Ask for what you want and the right tool runs
across every app you've connected.
App sign-in happens in the browser. No API keys.

## Install
Every client below gets the same `arcade` MCP server. What else comes with it
depends on what that client can load — the full breakdown is in the
[support matrix](docs/support-matrix.md).
| Client | Install | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| **Cursor** | [](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=arcade&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2h1Yi5hcmNhZGUuZGV2L21jcCJ9) | [cursor.md](docs/install/cursor.md) |
| **Claude Code** | [](docs/install/claude-code.md) | [claude-code.md](docs/install/claude-code.md) |
| **Claude Desktop** | [](https://github.com/arcadeai-labs/arcade/releases/latest/download/arcade-gateway-hub.mcpb) | [claude-desktop.md](docs/install/claude-desktop.md) |
| **VS Code** | [](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=arcade&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fhub.arcade.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) | [vscode.md](docs/install/vscode.md) |
| **GitHub Copilot CLI** | [](docs/install/copilot.md) | [copilot.md](docs/install/copilot.md) |
| **Codex / ChatGPT** | [](docs/install/codex.md) | [codex.md](docs/install/codex.md) |
| **Kiro** | [](docs/install/kiro.md) | [kiro.md](docs/install/kiro.md) |
| **OpenCode** | [](docs/install/opencode.md) | [opencode.md](docs/install/opencode.md) |
| **Any MCP client** | `https://hub.arcade.dev/mcp` | [agent-plugins.md](docs/install/agent-plugins.md) |
One command covers most of them:
```bash
npx plugins add arcadeai-labs/arcade
```
Cursor also auto-loads any plugin you install in Claude Code, so if you use
both, install in **one** place — otherwise Cursor lists it twice and splits
its components between the entries. See
[cursor.md](docs/install/cursor.md#avoid-installing-twice).
> **Staging deployment.** The hub currently runs against Arcade staging, so
> sign in with your **staging** Arcade account (the sign-in page is served by
> `cloud.bosslevel.dev`, not `arcade.dev`). Everything else is
> production-shaped.

Rules, subagents, commands, and hooks are not portable component types in
Agent Plugins 1.0.0, so each client gets whatever its own plugin format
supports. Full detail, including version floors and install methods, is in the
[support matrix](docs/support-matrix.md).
## Try it
- "What apps do I have connected?"
- "Send a message to #eng that the deploy is done."
- "What's on my calendar tomorrow?"
- `/arcade:status` — check your connection, sign-in, and connected apps
- `/arcade:connect google` — connect an app ahead of time
Your assistant speaks intent to the hub: `Arcade_SelectTools` finds the tool
for a task (schema included) and `Arcade_UseTool` runs it directly —
`Arcade_RetrieveResult` covers large results, `Arcade_Apps` manages app
connections and sign-in repair, and `Arcade_Project` manages org, project,
and gateway selection — you never call any of them yourself.
