Setup Guide

1

Sign up for Arcade

Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.

Create Arcade Account →
2

Create a new MCP Gateway

Navigate to MCP Gateway page in Arcade, then click Create MCP Gateway.

Select the specific tools you need

Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:

Gmail.ListEmails
Gmail.SendEmail
Gmail.ReplyToEmail
GoogleCalendar.ListEvents
GoogleCalendar.CreateEvent
GoogleCalendar.UpdateEvent
Slack.SendMessage
Slack.ListConversations
Slack.GetMessages
Firecrawl.ScrapeUrl
Choose your tools in Arcade MCP Gateway

Why this matters: Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 10 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.
