History

Eric Gustin 8c312b37e2 Track whether a tool call event happened (#661 ) We are now tracking whether a tool call event happens. We track generic "failure reasons" if the tool call fails. We DO NOT track names of tools, tool parameters, or any PII. Event name: - MCP tool called Properties: - is_execution_success - failure_reason - one of "missing requirements", "transport restriction", "error during tool execution", "unknown tool", "internal error calling tool" or doesn't exist in the case of successful tool execution. - arcade_mcp_server_version - runtime_language - os_type - os_release - device_timestamp As always you can opt out via setting the `ARCADE_USAGE_TRACKING` environment variable to 0.		2025-10-30 13:19:46 -07:00

Analytics & Privacy

Arcade MCP Server collects anonymous usage data to help us improve the service and debug issues. We track "MCP server start" events to understand server usage patterns and reliability.

What We Track

When the server starts, we collect the following information:

Server configuration: transport type (http or stdio), host, port
Server metadata: tool count, server version
Runtime environment: Python version, OS type and release
Timing: device timestamp
Errors: error messages (if startup fails)

Privacy

For anonymous users: Events are tracked with an anonymous ID and no user profile is created
For authenticated users: Events are linked to your account to help us provide better support
No sensitive data (credentials, tool inputs/outputs, or personal information) is ever collected

Opt Out

To disable usage tracking, set the environment variable ARCADE_USAGE_TRACKING to 0.
