It handles the plumbing: worker lifecycle, toolkit registration, authentication, and observability through OpenTelemetry. The package exposes tools via HTTP (FastAPI) or stdio (MCP), complete with request tracing and monitoring hooks.\n\nThe package is designed for developers building tool-serving infrastructure\u2014either standalone FastAPI applications or MCP servers that integrate with language models. It abstracts away the common patterns of authentication, toolkit loading, and runtime management, letting you focus on which tools to expose and how to configure them.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or deploying Arcade tools as services. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and eliminates boilerplate for FastAPI and MCP hosting. Install it when you need to expose toolkits over HTTP or MCP; skip it if you are only using tools locally or in a single-process context."},"id":"arcade-serve","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/arcade-serve","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/arcade-serve.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/arcade-serve/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"arcade-serve","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Arcade Serve - Serving infrastructure for Arcade tools and workers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":394675,"position":6989,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.4.2"}
