* arcade-core\==2.5.0rc1
* arcade-tdk\==2.6.0rc1
* arcade-serve\==2.2.0rc1
### Summary
Adds first-class MCP support across Arcade, introduces a new MCP server
and CLI, unifies the project under the arcade-mcp name, overhauls
templates/scaffolding, and improves developer tooling, secrets
management, and examples.
### Highlights
- **MCP Server & Core**
- New MCP server with stdio and HTTP/SSE transports, session management,
resumability, and lifecycle handling.
- FastAPI-like `MCPApp` for building servers with lazy init; integrated
worker+MCP HTTP app option.
- Middleware system (logging and error handling), robust exception
hierarchy, and Pydantic-based settings.
- Async-safe managers for tools, resources, and prompts backed by
registries and locks.
- Developer-facing, transport-agnostic runtime context interfaces (logs,
tools, prompts, resources, sampling, UI, notifications).
- Conversion from Arcade ToolDefinition to MCP tool schema; OpenAI JSON
tool schema converter.
- Parser supports `@app.tool`/`@app.tool(...)` decorators.
- **CLI**
- New `mcp` command to run MCP servers with stdio or HTTP/SSE.
- New `secret` command to set/list/unset tool secrets (supports .env
input, preserves original casing for lookups).
- `new` command refactored; option to create a full toolkit package with
scaffolding.
- `chat` command removed.
- `serve.py` imports updated to `arcade_serve.fastapi.telemetry`;
version retrieval now uses `arcade-mcp`.
- `show.py` refactor to use new local catalog utilities.
- `display_tool_details` improved: adds “Default” column and handles
nested properties.
- **Configuration & Discovery**
- New `configure.py` to set up Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to
connect to local or Arcade Cloud MCP servers.
- Discovery utilities to find/install toolkits, build `ToolCatalog`s,
analyze files for tools, load kits from directories (pyproject parsing),
and build minimal toolkits.
- Better handling of provider API key resolution and evaluation suite
loading.
- **Templates & Scaffolding**
- Reorganized template structure (minimal vs full); moved
`.pre-commit-config.yaml`, `.ruff.toml`, license, Makefile, README,
tests, and tools layout to correct paths.
- Minimal template adds `.env.example` for runtime secret injection.
- Template pyproject updated for MCP servers; includes sample server
with greeting and secret-reveal tools.
- Authorization flow in templates simplified.
- **Repo-wide Renaming & Examples**
- Migrates references from `arcade-ai` to `arcade-mcp` across READMEs,
scripts, and package metadata.
- Examples updated (LangChain/LangGraph/AI SDK/TypeScript) and package
name changed to `arcade-mcp-sdk`.
- **Evals & Core Utilities**
- Evals now use OpenAI tooling format (`OpenAIToolList`, `to_openai`);
`tool_eval` takes `provider_api_key`.
- Core utilities: fixed `does_function_return_value` by dedenting before
parse; version bump to `2.5.0rc1` and dependency cleanup.
- **Tooling & CI**
- `setup-uv-env` action splits toolkit vs contrib dependency
installation.
- Pre-commit: excludes `libs/arcade-mcp-server/mkdocs.yml` and
`libs/tests/` from YAML and Ruff hooks; Ruff per-file ignores (e.g.,
C901 in `libs/**/*.py`, TRY400 in server docs paths).
- Makefile updates for uv env setup, quality checks, tests, builds, and
new `shell` target.
- Added Makefile to MCP server library to streamline dev workflow.
- **Cleanup**
- Removed `claude.json` config.
- Simplified stdio entrypoint; removed unused imports (`arcade_gmail`,
`arcade_search`).
### Breaking Changes
- **CLI**: `chat` command removed; use `mcp`, `secret`, and updated
`new`.
- **Naming**: All users should update references from `arcade-ai` to
`arcade-mcp`.
- **Templates**: File paths moved; downstream scripts referencing old
template locations may need updates.
### Getting Started
- Run an MCP server:
- `arcade mcp --stdio --toolkits your_toolkit`
- `arcade mcp --http --toolkits your_toolkit`
- Manage secrets:
- `arcade secret set your_toolkit KEY=value`
- `arcade secret list your_toolkit`
- `arcade secret unset your_toolkit KEY`
- Configure clients:
- `arcade configure` to set up Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code for
local/Arcade Cloud MCP.

## Changes
- Removed some try catch blocks from Zendesk tools so the default Httpx
error adaptor can deal with them.
Co-authored-by: Francisco Liberal <francisco@arcade.dev>
As of today, Arcade's toolkits are moving to closed-source.
Toolkit source code remains available upon request for our paying
customers. The history of this repository contains the toolkits as of
their most recent publication under their previous license terms.

Adds `Jira.GetAvailableAtlassianClouds` tool, which provides a list of
clouds available (checking which Clouds were actually authorized by the
current auth token).
Refactors the interface of every tool to accept an `atlassian_cloud_id`
argument (when not provided, try to get a unique cloud ID - if multiple
are available, raises a Retryable error with the list of Clouds
available instructing to select one).
Gets rid of all caching. Now storing the global semaphore to the context
object. The global semaphore is important because some tools depend on
others, and each tool instantiates its own Jira HTTP client. Storing the
semaphore in the context object ensures that all HTTP clients will
respect the concurrency limit.
Removes from tool responses the Atlassian URLs linking to objects in the
Jira GUI (users, projects, issues, etc. We do not keep track of the
cloud name anymore, which is required to build the objects' URLs.
Extends/refactors unit tests accordingly.
Evals checking LLM behavior when:
- a cloud ID is explicitly mentioned in the prompt;
- no cloud ID is mentioned;
- a "multiple clouds available" error is raised and the user is prompted
to pick one;
- user request triggers another tool call after having previously picked
a cloud ID (in the same chat context);
### Adds one new tool to the Notion toolkit
* **AppendContentToEndOfPage**: Append markdown content to the end of a
Notion page by its ID or title
### Fixes a bug
* The **CreatePage** would previously fail if the content provided was
broken into more than 100 blocks. I added 'chunking' logic to support >
100 blocks.
This solves an edge case where the `"url"` entity does not have an
`"expanded_url"` case when expanding. The behavior for now is simply
don't replace the URL as it seems the display_url is NOT what we want to
keep as it's normally abbreviated

Adds an example of a good "general case" SQL tool:
* enforces read-only mode
* hints to the LLM to discover the tables and schemas for the tables it
needs before any query
* uses RetryableToolErrors to hint to the LLM about what to do next
Docs: https://github.com/ArcadeAI/docs/pull/345
For testing, `TEST_POSTGRES_DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING` has been set in
the repo (from Neon). details in 1 password.

New toolkit versions are release candidates now.
Also fixed a test for e2b toolkit.
Also, I am explicitly not running test for toolkits for the post merge
workflow because they are run on every PR commit (i.e., they must pass
before we even merge)
# Backwards-compatible refactoring of the Slack toolkit
Several performance improvements, streamlined tool set, and easier to
understand tool interfaces.
All "old" tools were kept for backwards compatibility, with the same
interfaces and response structure (but using the new and more performant
tools under the hood).
Full revision of unit-tests and evals.
## Streamlined tool set
Multiple groups of tools were streamlined into a single one:
* "get conversation metadata" from 5 tools to one;
* "send message" from 2 tools to one;
* "get users in conversation" from 3 tools to one;
* "get messages" from 4 tools to one
## New capabilities
* Messages retrieved are now populated with the users' names, apart from
ID: makes it easier for LLMs to reference who sent a message, were
mentioned, or reacted to a message
* Retrieve users by username, email, and/or ID (before we only supported
ID)
* Retrieve multiple users in a single tool call
## Concurrency controls
All operations issuing multiple requests concurrently now have a
`Semaphore` to limit the concurrency level. The limit can be controlled
through the `SLACK_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS` env var (defaults to 3).
## Networking performance improvement
Various operations that used to make multiple API calls are now executed
more efficiently:
### Find users by username
* Before: a full scan of `users_list` was required (potentially multiple
pages for large workspaces);
* Now it stops as soon as we have all users needed (yes, it was dumb
before)
### Get multiple users by their IDs
* Before: for each user ID, we made one API call to the `users_info`
endpoint
* Now: we call `list_users` and scan the results to match the user IDs
(an estimate of 99.5% of Slack workspaces have < 200 users; for large
workspaces, we may need to paginate `list_users`)
### Get a conversation by its users
* Before:
* Call to `list_conversations` (potentially paginating)
* For each conversation, one call to `conversations_members`
(potentially paginating)
* Then loop and find which conversation matches the users' IDs
* Now:
* A single call to `conversations_open`
# PR Description
## Split toolkits
This PR splits the `Microsoft`, `Google`, and `Search` toolkits into
multiple toolkits each.
* `Microsoft` --> `OutlookCalendar`, `OutlookMail`.
* `Google` -----> `GoogleCalendar`, `GoogleContacts`, `GoogleDocs`,
`GoogleDrive`, `Gmail`, `GoogleSheets`
* `Search` -----> `GoogleFinance`, `GoogleFlights`, `GoogleHotels`,
`GoogleJobs`, `GoogleMaps`, `GoogleNews`, `GoogleSearch`,
`GoogleShopping`, `Walmart`, `Youtube`
> The original monolithic toolkits (`Microsoft`, `Google`, `Search`) are
not removed in this PR. The plan is to keep those toolkits around while
we
> 1. Stop documenting the toolkits,
> 2. Stop displaying the toolkits in the dashboard, and
> 3. Help customers migrate over to the new split toolkits.
## Rename toolkits
This PR renames the following toolkits
* `Web` ------------> `Firecrawl`
* `CodeSandbox` ---> `E2B`
> The `Web` and `CodeSandbox` toolkits are not removed in this PR. The
plan is to keep them around while we
> 1. Stop documenting the toolkits,
> 2. Stop displaying the toolkits in the dashboard, and
> 3. Help customers migrate over to the new renamed toolkits.
## Rename tools
Since toolkit names were changed, this called for some tools to be
renamed as well.
* `GoogleSearch.SearchGoogle` ----------------> `GoogleSearch.Search`
* `GoogleShopping.SearchShoppingProducts` --->
`GoogleShopping.SearchProducts`
* `Walmart.SearchWalmartProducts` ------------> `Walmart.SearchProducts`
* `Walmart.GetWalmartProductDetails` --------->
`Walmart.GetProductDetails`
* `Youtube.SearchYoutubeVideos` -------------->
`Youtube.SearchForVideos`
## Google File Picker
Improvements to the Google File Picker experience were also added in
this PR.
The following tools will ALWAYS provide llm_instructions in their
response to "let the end-user know that they have the option to select
more files via the file picker url if they want to":
* `GoogleDocs.SearchDocuments`
* `GoogleDocs.SearchAndRetrieveDocuments`
* `GoogleDrive.GetFileTreeStructure`
The following tools will only provide the file picker URL if a 404 or
403 from the Google API:
* `GoogleDocs.InsertTextAtEndOfDocument`
* `GoogleDocs.GetDocumentById`
* `GoogleSheets.GetSpreadsheet`
* `GoogleSheets.WriteToCell`
Also, a standalone `GoogleDrive.GenerateGoogleFilePickerUrl` tool
exists.
## Other
* The `SearchDocuments` and `SearchAndRetrieveDocuments` tools used to
be organized within the Drive portion of the Google toolkit, but I moved
these into the new GoogleDocs toolkit because they are specific to Docs.

# Discussion
* Repeated code is a consequence of splitting toolkits that use the same
provider. I am open to any ideas that would allow multiple toolkits to
reference common code. Comment your ideas in this PR.
The current `arcade new` command fails to `make install` and `make
check` if it's not manually patched with pre-commit files. It also fails
due to local dependencies if it's not run inside `arcade-ai/toolkits`
This PR patches the toolkit template to only include the local
dependencies if it detects is `arcade new` being run inside
`arcade-ai/toolkits`, it also makes pre-commit commands optional.
### Overview
Major restructuring from monolithic `arcade-ai` package to modular
library architecture with standardized uv-based dependency management.

### New Package Structure
- **`arcade-tdk`** - Lightweight toolkit development kit (core
decorators, auth)
- **`arcade-core`** - Core execution engine and catalog functionality
- **`arcade-serve`** - FastAPI/MCP server components
- **`arcade-ai`** - Meta package that includes CLI functionality.
Optionally include evals via the `evals` extra. Optionally include all
packages via the `all` extra.
### Key Benefits
- **Lighter Dependencies**: Toolkits now depend only on `arcade-tdk` (~2
deps) vs full `arcade-ai` (~30+ deps)
- **Faster Builds**: uv provides 10-100x faster dependency resolution
and installation
- **Better Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns, consumers import
only what they need
- **Standard Tooling**: Eliminates custom poetry scripts, uses standard
Python packaging
### Migration Impact
- All 20 toolkits converted from poetry → uv with `arcade-tdk`
dependencies plus `arcade-ai[evals]` and `arcade-serve` dev
dependencies. When developing locally, devs should install toolkits via
`make install-local`.
- Modern Python 3.10+ type hints throughout
- Standardized build system with hatchling backend
- Enhanced Makefile with robust toolkit management commands
- Removed `arcade dev` CLI command
- Reduce the number of files created by `arcade new` and add an option
to not generate a tests and evals folder.
This foundation enables faster development cycles and cleaner dependency
chains for the growing toolkit ecosystem.
### Todo After this PR is merged
- [ ] Post-merge workflow(s) (release & publish containers, etc)
- [ ] Release order plan. @EricGustin suggests releasing in the
following order:
1. `arcade-core` version 0.1.0
2. `arcade-serve` version 0.1.0 and `arcade-tdk` version 0.1.0
3. `arcade-ai` version 2.0.0
4. Patch release for all toolkits (all changes in toolkits are internal
refactors)
- [ ] [Update docs](https://github.com/ArcadeAI/docs/pull/318)

12 tools for the new Confluence toolkit.
| Name | Description |
|----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Confluence.CreatePage | Create a new page at the root of the given
space. |
| Confluence.UpdatePageContent | Update a page's content. |
| Confluence.RenamePage | Rename a page by changing its title. |
| Confluence.GetPage | Retrieve a SINGLE page's content by its ID or
title. |
| Confluence.GetPagesById | Get the content of MULTIPLE pages by their
ID in a single efficient request. |
| Confluence.ListPages | Get the content of multiple pages by their ID.
|
| Confluence.ListAttachments | List attachments in a workspace. |
| Confluence.GetAttachmentsForPage | Get attachments for a page by its
ID or title. |
| Confluence.SearchContent | Search for content in Confluence. |
| Confluence.GetSpace | Get the details of a space by its ID or key. |
| Confluence.ListSpaces | List all spaces sorted by name in ascending
order. |
| Confluence.GetSpaceHierarchy | Retrieve the full hierarchical
structure of a Confluence space as a tree structure.|
### Confluence Clients
Confluence has deprecated most of their V1 endpoints, so most of the
tools use V2. However, we still need a V1 client to support search. The
V1 search API has not been deprecated yet, because there is no V2
equivalent. But we need to be aware in the future for when this
deprecation happens.
### Future work
* Content of pages are returned in the Confluence `storage` format. This
is the format that Confluence uses to store pages internally. We should
understand the storage format more deeply, and write utility function to
transform this format into plain text.
* Better protections against extremely large pages. I've tested up to
6,000 word pages.
* Tools for blog posts
* Tool for getting the children of a page. (`get_space_hierarchy` will
suffice for now)
* Allow for numerical titles
