Questions

What is the sqz MCP server?

Context compression for AI coding agents: compresses tool output before it enters the model, dedups repeats to 13-token refs. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, Zed, any MCP client. Rust, zero LLM calls.

Is sqz safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (49/100) and found 4 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does sqz need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does sqz run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as sqz at 0.6.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (45fb555e4b43), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
