Mission Squad Platform — Getting Started
Audience: Builders who prefer UI over raw API calls. This page gives you the fastest path to a working setup and maps the UI to the corresponding API endpoints.
Deployment Modes
- Cloud‑hosted
- Managed by Mission Squad; minimal setup.
- Customer‑hosted
- Self‑deployed in your environment; integrates with your security and networking controls. Contact for self-hosted options
Concepts at a glance
- Providers: secure, per‑account API credentials for model vendors (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Groq, OpenAI‑compatible APIs, or your own externally accessible API).
- Models: named configurations you create per provider model (temperature, max tokens, etc.).
- Agents: task‑specific wrappers around a model + system prompt, optional Tools (MCP), optional RAG collections.
- MCP: Model Context Protocol servers that expose tools (functions) agents can call.
- Prompt Studio: scratchpad to run models/agents, observe tool events, and save prompts back to agents.
- Embeddings: vector stores (knowledge bases) created from your files for RAG.
- Workflows: multi‑agent orchestration (primary + helper agents).
- Schedules: recurring runs of an agent/workflow with delivery (email; Slack if configured).
First‑run checklist (≈10 minutes)
- Add a Provider → Providers tab → enter API key for, e.g.,
openai. - Discover & Save a Model → Models tab → select provider & provider model → give it a friendly name (e.g.,
gpt-4.1-mini-factual). - Install/Enable Tools (optional) → MCP tab → connect servers (e.g.,
webtools,github) and confirm they show "connected" with listed tool schemas. - Create an Agent → Agents tab → bind to your named model, paste a system prompt, optionally enable Tools and pick functions; optionally attach Embeddings collections.
- Test in Prompt Studio → choose Target Model or Agent → toggle Streaming ON to watch tool events; iterate prompt.
- Schedule it (optional) → Schedules tab → pick agent, paste the prompt, set frequency/time, set recipients → enable.

Navigation overview

- Providers — add credentials and view each provider’s Supported Models snapshot.
- Models — create named configurations per provider model; adjust generation params.
- Agents — define task prompts, bind to a model, and enable Tools (MCP) and Embeddings (RAG).
- Workflows — compose primary + helper agents.
- Schedules — configure recurring runs and delivery.
- Embeddings — create/search vector stores; upload files.
- Prompt Studio — run quick tests, stream events, and save prompts back to an agent.
- MCP (Tools) — manage servers; inspect available tools and their input schemas.

- Set up a provider and model: Providers, Models
- Create an agent and test it in Prompt Studio: Agents, Prompt Studio
- Optional: Connect MCP tools, attach embeddings, and add schedules: MCP (Tools), Embeddings, Schedules
