MCP support
The server exposes Squadcast operations as tools for MCP clients. It can be built locally and connected to a client such as Claude Desktop.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Connecting with Claude Desktop
Refer to the "Testing your server with Claude for Desktop" to set up a local server with Claude Desktop. Point it to the dist/index.js file on your computer.
Configuration
I used the following personal preferences for Claude Desktop. Replace Your Team Name in the template:
Help me with using Squadcast.
Ensure I am authenticated before using tools.
Once authenticated, ensure a team is selected. Select <Your Team Name Here> Team by default.
Once a team is selected, answer questions related to the selected team only.
If searching for incidents, don't use periods of more than 1 day. To get the latest incidents, you can use a future end date/time
When greeted, check for any triggered incidents and let the user know. Also remind the user of any acknowledged incidents (not been resolved yet.)
When creating resources, guide the user through the options they have and request for their inputs or confirmations before creation.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
