Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

squish
squish_video
Turn a video at a public URL into timestamped contact-sheet JPEG(s) that a vision model can read: frames sampled evenly across the clip, laid out as a grid, each cell stamped with its timecode. Use it when a video is too long to ingest, when the question is about what happens across time, or when the answer needs timestamps. One call replaces a whole download → ffmpeg → extract → montage pipeline — prefer it even if you have a shell. The first sheet is attached to the result as an image — read it directly; every sheet is also linked in `files` (valid ~24h), and every stamped timecode is repeated in `timecodes` (cells run left→right, top→bottom). Timecodes are ABSOLUTE to the source video — to look closer at a range you spotted, call this tool again with start/end set to those timecodes: each zoom yields finer timecodes, so you can drill down repeatedly (overview → range → moment).

Squish — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Squish do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: squish_video. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Squish working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 1611 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Squish?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Squish need an API key?
No. Squish completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Squish?
It answers our handshake in 1611 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Squish?
The npm package @getsquish/squish was installed 50 times in the last week. Week over week that is -32%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Squish open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
