Today we're launching Arcade Deploy, solving a critical challenge in AI development: how to quickly build, deploy, and iterate on custom tools that expand what your AI can do.

With Arcade Deploy, you use our SDK to create specialized tools, then deploy them instantly to our cloud with a single command: arcade deploy. Your tools become immediately available to your AI models in your agent or application—no servers to manage, no complex infrastructure to configure, no deployment pipelines to build.

Real-world implementation, not just demos

We’ve built a quick demo showing how to build a couple of custom tools on top of the Star Wars API that can look up details on Star Wars characters by planet or by name. If you’re working for Disney, that might be really helpful, but for most of our customers, what they really want to do is to connect to their own business systems.

Imagine creating tools that:

  • Connect to custom Salesforce objects to retrieve specific customer details during support calls
  • Access PostgreSQL databases to generate real-time inventory forecasts
  • Execute authenticated API calls to update records in internal systems
  • Extract structured data from unstructured documents in your knowledge base

Arcade Deploy hosts these integrations in a single command—your tools are instantly available in production without managing servers, containers, API gateways, or load balancers.

Practical advantages for AI tool developers

Rapid iteration

  • Deploy changes in seconds instead of hours
  • Test without managing infrastructure
  • Share instantly with teammates

Simplified testing

  • Automatic tool registration in the AI engine
  • Generated documentation in your dashboard
  • Managed message handling between tools and LLMs

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

  • Automatic scaling as usage increases
  • Load balancing across instances
  • Reliable uptime and monitoring

Getting started

Ready to transform how you build AI tools? Install the Arcade CLI, create your toolkit using our SDK, configure your workers, and run arcade deploy. That's it.

Skip the DevOps, build tools that matter

Arcade Deploy lets you build what matters—the actual functionality your AI needs—without wasting time on deployment infrastructure. You'll spend more time coding useful features and less time fighting with cloud configuration.

Production-Ready MCP: Why Security Standards Matter for AI Tool Infrastructure

After eight years building authentication systems at Okta, followed by stints at Kong and ngrok working on developer tools and API gateways, I've seen how to build systems that are secure by default. Now at Arcade.dev, I'm watching the MCP ecosystem struggle to get there. The Model Context Protocol has incredible potential for enabling AI agents to interact with real-world systems. But there's a gap between experimental implementations and production-ready infrastructure that most developers ar

The Agent Hierarchy of Needs: Why Your AI Can't Actually Do Anything (Yet)

Your AI can summarize documents you feed it, answer questions about your uploaded PDFs, and explain concepts from its training data. But ask it to pull your actual Q4 revenue from NetSuite, check real customer satisfaction scores, or update a deal in Salesforce? Suddenly it's just guessing—or worse, hallucinating numbers that sound plausible but aren't your data. This disconnect between AI's intelligence and its ability to access real data and take action is why less than 30% of AI projects hav
