Psquare MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude access to ParentSquare, a school-parent communication platform. Since ParentSquare has no public API, this server scrapes the web interface using saved session cookies. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting communication tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

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.

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package parentsquare-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.thehesiod is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

What is Psquare?

Is Psquare still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-08-27 and it shipped 1 release in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Psquare?

Run `uvx parentsquare-mcp`. The README documents 5 environment variables (PS_USERNAME, PS_PASSWORD, PS_CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER…) to set first. Set PS_USERNAME, PS_PASSWORD, PS_NO_ELICIT before connecting. PS_CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER, PS_LASTPASS_ITEM are optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Psquare run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
