Arcade, founded in 2023, develops an MCP (Model Context Protocol) runtime designed to enable AI agents to operate securely within production enterprise environments. The platform provides infrastructure for agent authorization, reliable tool execution, and governance - the building blocks needed for AI agents to take real actions on behalf of organisations. The company sits at the intersection of AI agent infrastructure and enterprise security.
The company's core technical domains span AI agent authorization, tool infrastructure, and governance. Its MCP runtime is built specifically for production use cases where security and reliability are non-negotiable, targeting enterprises deploying AI agents that interact with real systems and data.
Arcade has raised a total of $72 million in funding, comprising a $12 million seed round and a $60 million Series A. This level of capitalisation reflects significant investor interest in the AI agent tooling space, which is rapidly emerging as critical infrastructure as organisations move AI agents from experimental to production settings.
