What is Squid?

Squid is a caching HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP proxy server that reduces bandwidth usage and improves response times. It supports access control lists, SSL bumping for HTTPS inspection, and content filtering.

Run Squid in Even

Even Stacks launches Squid as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Squid in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 3128, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://squid.localhost.

Drive Squid with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Squid directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, check its status and logs, and reconfigure it. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Squid and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf in its volume to set ACLs, cache rules, and allowed hosts. Apply changes without restarting with `docker exec squid squid -k reconfigure`. Proxy listens on port 3128; no web UI.
