Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.meetsquad.ai

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

registry vendor namespace ai.meetsquad - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

03 · What Squad can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list every organisation and workspace you can access, with the current selection marked, select which organisation and workspace subsequent tools operate on, update the current workspace's name, description, mission statement or logo, and fetch any entity by display ID (SI-1, IN-1, AC-1, GL-1, BR-1, DC-1, CL-1) or UUID. Also how you check on async work.
