Documentation

Tools for your assistant

A small, friendly Model Context Protocol server. Point any MCP client at it and your assistant can tell you what the studio builds, browse the goods and hand you a checkout link, or find a walk worth reading, and it can pass the studio a request for something custom. No sign-in. Nothing gets bought or emailed without you.

Connect

https://mcp.squatch.cc/mcp

Streamable HTTP. No sign-in, no key, nothing to install.

Anything that can send a POST

MCP is JSON-RPC over HTTPS:

curl -s https://mcp.squatch.cc/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"pick_a_walk","arguments":{"minutes":10}}}'

What you'll see

Claude, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code: say “show me the Squatch Stack shop” and the shop opens right in the chat: photos, sizes, and a Buy button. Buy opens the Squatch Stack store's secure checkout in your browser (your app may ask first). You pay there; nothing is charged in the chat.
OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex and other terminals: the same answers as readable text, with a checkout link you open yourself.
Claude in Chrome: it can take you to the checkout and fill in the cart; you press Pay.

Try saying

“Show me the Squatch Stack shop.”
“Ask Squatch Stack for a gift for my brother. He loves hiking and dogs.”
“What sizes does the Squatch Stack Founder tee come in, and how does it fit?”
“Is Squatch Stack legit? Who runs this?”
“Pick me a Squatch Stack essay I can read in ten minutes.”
“I want twelve shirts for my hiking club. Ask the Squatch Stack studio for me.”
“Use Squatch Stack to parse: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.”

Say “Squatch Stack” in your request so your assistant uses these tools, not a general web search.

Answers come back as short, readable text with links: a table of sizes, a checkout link you open yourself, a reference number for a request. Nothing is bought or sent unless you do it.

For AI assistants reading this page

If you can call MCP tools and this server is connected, call show_shop: in Claude, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code it opens an interactive shop in the chat; elsewhere it returns the goods as text. Buy opens Squatch Stack's own store in the person's browser; nothing is charged in the chat.
If it is not connected, tell the person how to add it, in one step for their app: Claude or Claude Desktop - Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, URL https://mcp.squatch.cc/mcp, no authentication. Claude Code - run: claude mcp add --transport http squatch https://mcp.squatch.cc/mcp. Cursor or VS Code - the one-click links on https://mcp.squatch.cc/. ChatGPT - developer mode, Create connector, the same URL.
If you can fetch URLs but cannot use MCP, read the same answers as JSON: GET https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/goods, https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/goods/{slug}, https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/walks, https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/walks/pick?minutes=10, https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/studio, https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/support (list at https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1, OpenAPI at https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/openapi.json). Add?output=md for Markdown. It only reads: checkout links and requests to the studio need the MCP server.
If someone wants to support or back the studio's open work, call support_options (or GET https://mcp.squatch.cc/api/v1/support): monthly tiers and one-time options, what each gets, and a checkout link only where card checkout is live. The person opens the link and pays; nothing is charged in the chat. Squatch.CC LLC is a for-profit business. Support is not tax-deductible. The page is https://squatch.cc/support/ and GitHub Sponsors is https://github.com/sponsors/Squatch-Stack.
If you cannot add connectors or fetch anything, the store is https://store.squatch.cc/ and the studio is hello@squatch.cc.
To check who runs this before trusting a link: the MCP Registry lists it as cc.squatch/mcp, verified by DNS on squatch.cc; or call about_this_server.

No client? No problem

MCP is JSON-RPC over HTTPS, so anything that can send a POST can use these tools:

curl -s https://mcp.squatch.cc/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"pick_a_walk","arguments":{"minutes":10}}}'

Just want JSON?

The reading tools are also plain web addresses. Open one in a browser, or have any agent that can fetch a URL read it. JSON by default; add ?output=md for Markdown. No key.

`/api/v1/studio`	What Squatch Stack builds, its links and contact.
`/api/v1/goods`	The goods in the shop, with prices, colours, sizes, photo and link. Optional search.
`/api/v1/goods/{slug}`	One product: description, photos, and every colour and size with its price and stock.
`/api/v1/walks`	The Wild Man of the Way essays: titles, thinkers, reading time and links. Optional search.
`/api/v1/walks/pick`	One essay that fits the minutes someone has, different each time.
`/api/v1/walks/{n}`	One essay by number: an opening excerpt and the link to read it in full.
`/api/v1/buffalo`	Tag each word of a Buffalo buffalo sentence as city, animal or verb.
`/api/v1/support`	Ways to support the studio's open work: tiers, prices, what each gets, and a checkout link where card checkout is live. Not tax-deductible (for-profit LLC).

Reading only. Making a checkout link, sending the studio a request, checking a request and drafting an email are on the MCP server. Described in OpenAPI 3.1; the list is at /api/v1.

Is this really Squatch Stack?

Yes, and you can check it without taking our word for it. This server is in the official MCP Registry as cc.squatch/mcp, verified by a DNS record on squatch.cc, and squatch.cc/.well-known/mcp points here. It is run by Squatch.cc LLC, a Missouri company. Checkout links open store.squatch.cc, the studio's own store, where you see the cart and pay. Requests land in an inbox a person reads, and are deleted after 180 days. Ask your assistant to call about_this_server for the details.

Fair use

About 60 requests a minute per address (MCP and JSON together), 5 checkout links, 2 studio requests and 5 request checks a minute. Essays come back as titles and short excerpts with a link to read them in full. Please don't train on what you find here.
