# Squads — Football Tactics Board Draw football (soccer) line-ups and animate tactical plays on a tactics board, right in the chat. Every result comes with a share link that opens in the [Squads](https://squads.xxox-xxox-xxox.jp/) web app. ## What you can do - **Draw a line-up**: starters, substitutes, formation and team colors, with the opponent if you want one. Use it for match previews, famous line-ups from history, or your own Sunday-league team. - **Animate a play**: build-up patterns, pressing, counter-attacks, set pieces or a real match situation, moved scene by scene on the full pitch (up to 30 scenes / 60 seconds). - **Pick from 25 formation presets**: 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 5-3-2, and classics such as WM and Catenaccio, plus custom shapes built line by line. In hosts that support MCP Apps, the board is shown inside the chat, and plays can be played back there. In other hosts, open the share link to see the board. From the app you can keep editing, export a PNG image, or export an MP4 video (desktop). ## Tools | Tool | Description | | --- | --- | | `list_formations` | Lists the formation presets and the position slots each one has. | | `create_squad` | Draws a line-up for one team, or two teams facing each other, and returns a share link. | | `create_play` | Builds an animated play from 1–30 scenes on the full pitch and returns a share link. | All tools are read-only. They do not change any external data. ## Example prompts - "Show Spain vs the Netherlands, 2010 World Cup final starting line-ups, on Squads." - "Draw Barcelona's 2009 Champions League final line-up in a 4-3-3 on Squads." - "Animate a right-back overlap ending in a cross on Squads." - "Suggest a formation for a counter-attacking team with fast wingers, and draw it using Squads." ## Connection - **Endpoint**: `https://squads.xxox-xxox-xxox.jp/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, stateless) - **Authentication**: none. No account or API key is needed. ## Privacy The server only receives what the assistant sends when it calls a tool (team names, player names, positions). Nothing is stored: the line-up or play exists only inside the share link. See the [privacy policy](https://squads.xxox-xxox-xxox.jp/en/legal/privacy). ## Links - Guide: https://squads.xxox-xxox-xxox.jp/en/guide/mcp - App: https://squads.xxox-xxox-xxox.jp/ Squads works in English and Japanese.

MCP readiness

B · 86/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	23/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (6428 ms); very slow response -2.
Protocol revision	8/10	Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	29/29 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 3 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	4/5	seen in a source within 7 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Very slow (6428 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,039 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-12 06:46 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 80% of peers; This listing 86 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 26% of peers; This listing 551 ms · peer median 326 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Live MCP endpoint −2 — Answer initialize and tools/list at the declared endpoint.
Now: Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (6428 ms); very slow response -2.
