# Daily Briefing Generator

Creates a personalized morning briefing with calendar overview, priority emails, task reminders, relevant news, and weather.

## Toolkits Needed

You'll need access to these toolkits in your Arcade MCP Gateway:

- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Slack
- Firecrawl

## Setup Guide

1. ### Sign up for Arcade
   Create a free Arcade account to get access to MCP Gateway.
   
2. ### Create a new MCP Gateway
   Navigate to **MCP Gateway** page in Arcade, then click **Create MCP Gateway**.
   
   Provide a slug that becomes your MCP URL (this is what LangSmith Fleet will discover automatically):
   
   **Example:** If you choose slug `my-agent`, your MCP URL will be:
   
   `https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/my-agent`

3. ### Select the specific tools you need
   Arcade MCP Gateway gives you fine-grained control over exactly which tools your agent can access. Select these specific tools from the toolkits:
   - Gmail.ListEmails
   - Gmail.SendEmail
   - Gmail.ReplyToEmail
   - GoogleCalendar.ListEvents
   - GoogleCalendar.CreateEvent
   - GoogleCalendar.UpdateEvent
   - Slack.SendMessage
   - Slack.ListConversations
   - Slack.GetMessages
   - Firecrawl.ScrapeUrl

**Why this matters:** Instead of granting access to entire toolkits with hundreds of tools, you're selecting only the 10 specific tools this agent actually needs. This precision reduces risk and keeps your agent focused.

4. ### Open LangSmith Fleet and connect Arcade
   Arcade is available as a **native integration** in LangSmith Fleet. Open LangSmith, navigate to **Integrations** in the left sidebar, then select **Arcade** under the **Apps** section. Click **Connect** to link your Arcade account.
   
   [Open LangSmith Fleet →](https://smith.langchain.com/)

Click **Connect**, then click **Allow** to authorize Arcade. Your gateways will be discovered automatically.

5. ### Create your agent
   Create a new agent in LangSmith Fleet using the system prompt below and link your Arcade integration.
   
   **View the system prompt:**
