FAQ from Square Model Context Protocol Server (Beta)
What authentication methods does the server support?
Local mode requires a Square access token set via the ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable. The remote MCP server uses OAuth, allowing users to log in with their Square account directly without manual token management.
Can I run the server in a sandbox environment?
Yes. Set the SANDBOX=true environment variable to use Square’s sandbox environment. Alternatively, PRODUCTION=true forces production mode.
How do I restrict the server to read-only operations?
Set the DISALLOW_WRITES=true environment variable to prevent any write operations through the API.
What tools does the server expose?
The server exposes three tools: get_service_info (discover methods for a service), get_type_info (learn parameter requirements), and make_api_request (execute API calls to Square).
What environment variables are available for configuration?
The supported variables are ACCESS_TOKEN (Square API token), SANDBOX, PRODUCTION, DISALLOW_WRITES, and SQUARE_VERSION (API version).
