• [claimed-docs] https://squareup.com/us/en/ai“Square AI (Beta) is an in-product assistant for sellers: "Square AI is built into your everyday tools to pull game-changing insights from your data and handle routine tasks to help you get ahead... Skip the report hunting, filter setting, and manual analysis — just ask about your data." It answers natural-language questions over the seller's own sales/inventory data and "brings in web data so you can ask about local weather, events, news, and reviews"; seller testimonials describe using it to "quickly analyze our best-selling items to feature on our online ordering menus" and to "plot the contribution of loose candy over time".”

Square recommends using the remote MCP server, which supports OAuth login with more control and granular permissions. This lets you securely sign in with your Square account and authorize only the scopes your application needs, with no manual token management required." It "connects your AI tools directly to the full Square API platform, giving you programmatic access to everything the APIs offer", with documented setup for Claude.ai (Enterprise/Teams/Max integrations), Claude Desktop, Goose, Cursor, and Windsurf; "For testing, you can run a local instance configured to access a seller's Sandbox environment."”

Local mode runs via `npx square-mcp-server start` with documented env controls including SANDBOX=true and `DISALLOW_WRITES=true` ("Restrict to read-only operations") plus SQUARE_VERSION pinning.”

Use this file as the compact index for Square developer documentation. For full-document ingestion, fetch the full documentation corpus (developer.squareup.com/llms-full.txt). To answer specific questions, fetch only the relevant API links from this index instead of loading the full corpus unless explicitly needed."
