squad-mcp MCP Server

Squad MCP Server

A remote MCP server that brings Squad — the AI-powered product discovery and strategy platform — directly into your AI workflows. Connect Squad to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant to research, ideate, and plan products without context switching.

🚀 Quick Start

For Users

Connect Squad to your AI assistant in seconds:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http squad https://mcp.meetsquad.ai/mcp

On first use, you'll be prompted to authenticate via OAuth in your browser.

Claude Connectors:

Coming soon to the Claude MCP directory

ChatGPT:

Coming soon to the ChatGPT plugin store

Other MCP Clients:

Connect using https://mcp.meetsquad.ai/mcp - OAuth configuration is automatically discovered via the server's .well-known/oauth-authorization-server endpoint.

📖 Usage Examples

See USAGE_EXAMPLES.md for detailed real-world examples including:

Discover opportunities - "What opportunities are in my workspace?"
Explore solutions - "Show me solutions for [opportunity] with pros/cons"
Strategic alignment - "How do my solutions map to business goals?" (OST view)
Generate ideas - "Generate solution ideas for [opportunity]"
Search everything - "Find all content related to compliance"
Create opportunities - "Create a new opportunity for [customer pain point]"

Each example shows the actual user prompt, which tools get called behind the scenes, and the expected output based on real Squad data.
