OAUTH

Square MCP server, with a policy gate.

Connect Square to any MCP client through one OAuth-protected URL, with writes gated behind grants you can revoke per agent.

Your agents connect tohttps://app.gentkey.com/mcpclaude.ai (web & mobile) · Claude Code · Cursor · any MCP client
ACCESS MODEL

What’s free, what needs a grant.

Reads: Square's tools ship write-gated until a curated read set lands.

Writes: Grant mcp-square.write and the connector opens; revoke it per agent surface any time.

Gentkey proxies the official Square MCP server (https://mcp.squareup.com/mcp) — you get the vendor’s own tools, with custody, gating, and audit added in front.

GrantWhat it governs
mcp-square.writeEvery tool the official Square server exposes — catalog, orders, payments, and reads too, until a curated read set lands
SETUP

Connect once, use everywhere.

Sign in at gentkey.com, add Square (oauth), then point each client at your endpoint. Every client completes a standard OAuth flow and lands in your Gentkey — your connections, nobody else’s.

IN PRACTICE

Things agents do with Square here.

  • What did the store sell today?
  • Add a seasonal item to the catalog at $12.50.
  • Which items are low on inventory?
  • Refund the last order from this morning.
SECURITY

Custody, gating, and audit — built in.

The model never sees a credential

Your Square token is encrypted at rest and injected server-side at call time. Your stored credential never enters a context window.

grants

Writes need a grant

Anything that changes state needs a capability you granted explicitly — revoke it and the next call is denied.

audit_log

A trail you can act on

Every decision is attributed to the agent that made it — allowed, denied, or denied by constraint.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Can I let an agent read sales without letting it refund?

Not yet for Square — its tools aren't curated into reads and writes, so one grant covers the connector today. The taxonomy deepens per connector over time: RevenueCat and Superwall already have per-resource grants, and curated reads go free when they land.

What happens when an agent calls a Square write tool it hasn't been granted?

The call is denied at the gateway — nothing reaches Square — and the denial is recorded in the audit log along with the grant that would have authorized it, so you can decide deliberately instead of finding out later.

Where are my credentials stored?

Encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) on Gentkey's server and injected server-side at call time. No credential you store with Gentkey ever enters a model's context window or an agent's config file.

Can I use this from claude.ai's free plan?

Yes — and it's the strongest case for a gateway: free claude.ai accounts currently get a single custom connector, so pointing that one slot at Gentkey puts every connector you've linked behind it.

How do I revoke an agent's access?

Revoke the grant (the next write is denied) or revoke the agent's tokens entirely in one click. Other agents and their grants are untouched — no shared key to rotate.

Is Gentkey affiliated with Square?

No. Gentkey is an independent MCP gateway. Trademarks belong to their owners; where an official Square MCP server exists, Gentkey proxies it and adds custody, gating, and audit on top.
