Both APIs have public OpenAPI files. No rate limit figures or SLA are published, the managed gateway endpoint is requested through an Aembit representative, and no DPA or sub-processor list was found.\n\n**Arcade.dev.** Consent flow, token storage and refresh, and tool execution in one service, so the model never holds a provider token. The terms of 15 July 2025 call the service an early version provided as is, with no uptime commitment below Enterprise.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Aembit\n\n1. Read the API Base URL and token from the tenant's Profile page. Tokens last 1 hour by default, so plan to refresh\n2. Send `X-Aembit-ResourceSet` on Cloud API, Edge API and MCP calls outside the default Resource Set, or the request runs against the default set\n3. Cache the Edge API access token from `/edge/v1/auth` until near expiry before calling `/edge/v1/credentials`. Both endpoints can answer 429\n4. Point MCP clients at `https://\u003cgateway-host\u003e/mcp`. The `/me` path is deprecated\n5. Expect tool names prefixed with the Server Workload name behind the MCP Identity Gateway, and keep `perPage` at 100 or less on the Aembit MCP Server\n\n### Arcade.dev\n\n1. Call `POST /v1/tools/authorize` first and send the user the returned URL when the status isn't completed\n2. Pass a stable user ID from your own database as user_id, never a shared value\n3. Read retry_after_ms on an UpstreamRateLimitError and wait that long before calling again\n4. Register your own OAuth app and a custom user verifier before real users sign in, because the default apps only accept members of your Arcade project\n5. Revoke a user's access with `DELETE /v1/admin/user_connections/{id}`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Aembit or Arcade.dev?\n\nAembit scores 70.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Arcade.dev's 66.9 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Arcade.dev leads on agent ergonomics and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Aembit and Arcade.dev need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Aembit and Arcade.dev without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Aembit. Arcade.dev has a hosted endpoint at https://api.arcade.dev.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/aembit-vs-arcade.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/aembit-vs-arcade.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"aembit\", \"b\": \"arcade\"}`.
