Read incidents, services, teams, on-call schedules; acknowledge, resolve and note incidents. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"squadcast": {
"url": "https://squadcast.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"squadcast": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://squadcast.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your Squadcast Refresh Token.
Find it in Squadcast → Settings → API / Personal access (generate an API Refresh Token). It is exchanged for a short-lived access token on each use, used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Squadcast Refresh Token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Squadcast connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
squadcast_list_incidents | read | List incidents Search/list incidents over a time window with filters (status, service, priority, assignee, tags, sources, starred, SLO-affecting) and sorting. `start_time`, `end_time` (both ISO8601) and `owner_id` (a TEAM id — use squadcast_list_teams to find it) are REQUIRED. Squadcast: GET /v3/incidents/export. |
squadcast_get_incident | read | Get incident Get a single incident by its id. Squadcast: GET /v3/incidents/{incidentID}. |
squadcast_get_incident_events | read | Get incident events Get the timeline of events for a single incident (state changes, notifications, actions). Squadcast: GET /v3/incidents/{incidentID}/events. |
squadcast_list_incident_notes | read | List incident notes List the war-room notes on a single incident. Squadcast: GET /v3/incidents/{IncidentId}/warroom. |
squadcast_list_services | read | List services List services for a team. `owner_id` (a TEAM id — use squadcast_list_teams to find it) is REQUIRED. Squadcast: GET /v3/services. |
squadcast_get_service | read | Get service Get a single service by its id. Squadcast: GET /v3/services/{serviceID}. |
squadcast_list_users | read | List users List all users in the organization. Squadcast: GET /v3/users. |
squadcast_get_user | read | Get user Get a single user by their id. Squadcast: GET /v3/users/{userID}. |

squadcast_get_team | read | Get team Get a single team by its id. Squadcast: GET /v3/teams/{teamId}. |
squadcast_list_squads | read | List squads List squads for a team. `owner_id` (a TEAM id — use squadcast_list_teams to find it) is REQUIRED. Squadcast: GET /v4/squads. |
squadcast_list_schedules | read | List schedules (on-call) List on-call schedules for a team. `teamID` is REQUIRED (use squadcast_list_teams to find it). Set `myOnCall` to filter to schedules where the token's own user is currently on call — the 'who's on call' lens. Squadcast: GET /v4/schedules. |
squadcast_list_escalation_policies | read | List escalation policies List escalation policies for a team. `owner_id` (a TEAM id — use squadcast_list_teams to find it) is REQUIRED. Squadcast: GET /v3/escalation-policies. |
squadcast_acknowledge_incident | write | Acknowledge incident Acknowledge a triggered incident on the LIVE account (stops escalation/paging for it). Squadcast: POST /v3/incidents/{incidentID}/acknowledge. |
squadcast_resolve_incident | write | Resolve incident Resolve an incident on the LIVE account, recording a resolution message. Squadcast: POST /v3/incidents/{incidentID}/resolve. |
squadcast_add_incident_note | write | Add incident note Add a war-room note to a LIVE incident (optionally with attachment URLs). Squadcast: POST /v3/incidents/{IncidentId}/warroom. |
squadcast_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
squadcast_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Squadcast tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
squadcast_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Squadcast tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a Stripe Checkout link to open in your browser; after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
squadcast_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Squadcast Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run squadcast_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Squadcast server only. Subscribe with squadcast_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with squadcast_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running squadcast_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Squadcast. The server calls the Squadcast API with your own Squadcast access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your Squadcast Refresh Token. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Squadcast Refresh Token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Squadcast API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Squadcast.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 16 Squadcast tools can create or change data. The other 13 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Squadcast server only. Run squadcast_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run squadcast_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run squadcast_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with squadcast_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
