MCP (Tools) ​

Purpose: Connect tool servers that expose functions your agents can call.

What you’ll see ​

  • Server list (left): entries like webtools, github, alphavantage, helper-tools, etherscan, rss. Each shows status (connected ✓) and has Server Logs for quick debugging.
  • Server config: Run Command, Server Description, optional Authentication Token.
  • Available Tools (right): a collapsible list of tool definitions per server, each with name, description, and inputSchema (JSON Schema). Use these to craft correct tool calls in prompts.

Workflow ​

  1. Connect server → confirm status = connected.
  2. Inspect tool input schemas → update your agent prompt to request tool usage.
  3. In Agents, enable Use Tools and select specific functions.

Tips ​

  • Keep auth tokens out of prompts; store them in server config.
  • Start with read‑only functions; expand to write actions (e.g., GitHub create_issue) once confident.
  • Grant least privilege by selecting only the functions an agent truly needs.

Connecting external (remote) MCP servers ​

Beyond platform‑managed servers, you can connect external MCP servers — remote, Streamable HTTP servers hosted elsewhere — to your account, including ones protected by OAuth 2.0. MissionSquad runs the whole OAuth 2.0 authorization‑code + PKCE flow for you and supports three client‑registration strategies:

  • CIMD (Client ID Metadata Document) — MissionSquad's served metadata URL is the client_id.
  • DCR (Dynamic Client Registration) — MissionSquad registers a client with the provider automatically.
  • Manual — you supply a client_id/client_secret.

The flow is: discover the server's OAuth metadata → register it → install it → start the OAuth flow (approve in a popup) → call its tools. For API‑key servers, save per‑server secrets instead of running OAuth. See MCP Servers (Connect & OAuth) for the full API.

Mission Squad's own MCP server ​

To let an AI agent drive MissionSquad itself, use the hosted Mission Squad MCP Server at https://mcp.missionsquad.ai. It exposes the entire API (models, agents, workflows, factories, collections, files, and more) as msq_* tools, authenticated with your MissionSquad API key.

API parity ​

Operator / Admin API ​

For instance operators who manage MCP servers, packages, and secrets programmatically, see the MCP API documentation. The MCP API is a separate admin-only sidecar service that provides endpoints for package installation, server lifecycle management, encrypted secret storage, and OAuth configuration.
