The MCP
server
Eight tools over one key, so an agent can see what is callable, what it costs and what a new project needs.
The Squiid MCP server is a small local process your coding agent talks to over stdio. It exposes eight tools so the agent can see what is callable, what it costs and what a new project needs — without holding a single provider credential. One line installs it:
claude mcp add squiid -e SQUIID_API_KEY=sq_live_… -- npx -y @squiid/mcpCodex, Gemini CLI and Cursor take the same server in their own form, and Claude Desktop, VS Code and Windsurf declare it in their config file with command, args and an env block carrying SQUIID_API_KEY. The MCP server page has every client's exact line. Without a key the server writes one line to stderr and exits, so the client tells you why instead of hanging.
The eight tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
start_project | Which services a new project needs, and a console link to review them and create the key. Creates nothing. |
list_services | Every service, with class · category · status · what it is priced by. |
get_service | One service, and exactly how to call it through Squiid. |
provision | Create an isolated resource: a database, a bucket, a sub-account. Rolling out |
get_credentials | That resource’s credentials, env-var shaped. Rolling out |
usage | Spend and recent requests. Falls back to the balance while GET /v1/usage rolls out. |
balance | Balance in USD, with the org and the key behind this key. |
request_cost | What one request cost, by its x-sq-request-id. |
Use a scoped key
Give the agent a key with the services it needs, a spend cap and nothing else. A Squiid key is a policy, not a password: the gateway enforces its scope, cap and rate limit on every request before it leaves. An agent key can never mint another key, sign up for anything or top up the wallet — key creation and top-ups stay behind a human in the console. Resources a key created survive its revocation.
For provisioning, use a key with the "may provision" scope. Spend controls covers the caps; the MCP page covers starting a project from your IDE.
