langchain-announces-open-agent-platform-oap

At the Interrupt Conference, LangChain unveiled a new agent platform that allows developers to build and share AI agents. The platform leverages Arcade.dev's support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable agents to perform actions on behalf of users across hundreds of services.

Why This Matters:

Complete Agent Ecosystem: Developers can now build, share, and deploy AI agents through an intuitive platform with flexible hosting options
Powerful Action Capabilities: Thanks to Arcade.dev, agents can securely interact with hundreds of services including Google, Slack, Stripe, and Salesforce
Open Standards Support: Full compatibility with MCP ensures interoperability with any MCP server that supports HTTPS, creating an extensible foundation for agent development

How It Works:

The LangChain agent platform provides a versatile environment with streamlined agent creation and management through a new UI. Developers can choose between LangGraph cloud hosting or local development using LangGraph Studio.

By leveraging Arcade.dev's extensive library of integrations and first-class MCP support, the platform enables agents to securely interact with hundreds of external services while maintaining proper permissions.

Our goal is to get your agents into production. This involves not just calling well-designed, LLM-consumable tools, but also authorizing many end users into your agent, which is not yet possible with MCP Servers. Our first pricing plan charged based on the number of

Arcade.dev Achieves SOC 2 Type 2: Because Agent Security Isn't Optional

Here's a fact that keeps enterprise CTOs up at night: 70% of AI agent projects never reach production. The primary killer? Security reviews that reveal agents can't be trusted with enterprise systems. Today, Arcade.dev achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification. But unlike typical compliance announcements, this isn't about checking boxes. It's about solving the fundamental trust problem that blocks agent deployment (and we checked the boxes too). Why Agent Security Hits Different Traditional softwa

The 3-Agent Pattern: How Chex Built a Full-Stack Mental Health Assistant

Most AI agents are glorified chatbots. Chex just won a hackathon by building three specialized agents that actually book therapy appointments. Not suggest. Not recommend. Actually book — complete with calendar invites and email confirmations. Here's the pattern they discovered that you can steal for your own agent systems. Want to skip to the code?
