### 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.

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.
### 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)

Addresses general improvements to all toolkits including changing ruff
from python 3.9 to python 3.10 which is the reason for the removal of
Optional[] among others.
Also, turns out that our `make install` for toolkits wasn't correctly
checking for whether poetry was installed (&> /dev/null syntax isn't
supported by our check-toolkits GitHub action, so we were installing
poetry twice. I replaced with the more portable >/dev/null 2>&1)
Question: Should we also change ruff to py310 for the `arcade/` package
in a later PR?

# PR Description
* This PR updates code in `examples/` to be compatible with version
1.0.0
* This PR removes the Spotify examples since the Arcade hosted worker
doesn't currently cataloge the Spotify toolkit. We can reintroduce these
examples when it does.
* This PR performs various renames across the codebase for
`arcade-ai.com` --> `arcade.dev` and `Arcade AI` --> `Arcade`
```
authors = ["Arcade AI <dev@arcade-ai.com>"]
```
vs
```
authors = ["Arcade AI <dev@arcade-ai.com"]
```
There is also now a ``make`` command for ``make install-toolkits``
This PR improves the Docker build process by shifting from building the
project within the Docker image to using pre-built wheels. The main
changes are:
1. **Updated Makefile:**
- **`VERSION` Variable:** Set to `0.1.0.dev0` to reflect the new default
development version.
- **`docker` Target:**
- Added steps to build the Arcade and toolkit wheels before building the
Docker image.
- Exports the required extras (`fastapi`, `evals`) to a
`requirements.txt` file.
- **`full-dist` Target:**
- Builds distributions for the main project and all toolkits.
- Copies all the built wheels to a centralized `./dist` directory.
- **`clean-dist` Target:**
- Cleans build artifacts from `./dist`, `arcade/dist`, and
`toolkits/*/dist` directories.
2. **Modified Dockerfile:**
- **Copy Pre-built Wheels:** Adjusted to copy wheels and the
`requirements.txt` from the `./dist` directory into the Docker image.
- **Installation Process:**
- Installs the Arcade wheel with the necessary extras.
- Installs toolkits from the copied wheel files, eliminating the need to
build them inside the Docker image.
- **Simplification:** Removed unnecessary commands, such as installing
build tools and copying the entire codebase, to streamline the
Dockerfile.
3. **Toolkits `pyproject.toml` Updates:**
- Changed the `arcade-ai` dependency version from `^0.1.0` to `0.1.*` in
all toolkit `pyproject.toml` files to ensure compatibility with the new
versioning scheme.
4. **Docker Makefile Adjustments:**
- Set the `VERSION` variable to `0.1.0.dev0` to align with the main
Makefile.
- Ensures consistent versioning across Docker-related build processes.
**Benefits:**
- **Efficiency:** Building wheels outside the Docker context reduces the
Docker image build time and resource consumption. overall docker image
size reduced by **1Gb**!!!
- **Reliability:** Using pre-built wheels ensures consistency across
different environments and simplifies dependency management.
- **Maintainability:** The Dockerfile and Makefiles are cleaner and more
straightforward, making them easier to understand and maintain.
**Notes:**
- Developers should run `make docker` to build and run the Docker
container using the new process.
- Ensure that any CI/CD pipelines are updated to accommodate these
changes in the build process. @sdreyer
