## Overview

Paperclip’s Arcade MCP connector links agents to your configured endpoint. Tools come from your Arcade account and appear in Paperclip when you connect.

Setup is documented from pinned sources but has not been tested with a live connection. Tools depend on the gateway’s selection and upstream app accounts. Paperclip governs exposed calls, not the gateway’s underlying app authorizations.

## Arcade connector FAQ

### Can I require approval for actions?

Set an action to Ask first to require human approval of each call or Off to prevent calls. Allowed actions run without approval. Read and Write grouping is separate from these settings.

### What can agents reach in Arcade?

Tools depend on the gateway’s selection and upstream app accounts. Paperclip governs exposed calls, not the gateway’s underlying app authorizations.
