What you can do with Accelo in Claude and ChatGPT

For agencies and service teams who run client work in Accelo.

Check the status of client projects

The AI lists Accelo jobs (projects) for a company and opens single jobs for details. You get a short summary of each project.

Find which invoices clients still owe

The AI lists invoices with Accelo filters and opens single ones. It adds up what each client company has not paid yet.

Summarize the sales pipeline

The AI lists prospects (sales opportunities) and opens single ones for details. You get an overview of the deals now in the pipeline.

Review open support tickets

The AI lists issues (support tickets) and opens single ones. It groups them so you see which clients have the most open tickets.

Add a task or log an activity

The AI creates a task against a job or company, or logs a note, email, call or meeting activity on it.

Changes data

Look up or add a company and contact

The AI searches companies and contacts, and creates a new company or a new contact when none exists.

How do I connect Accelo?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment.

Register a service application in Accelo → Configuration → API. The deployment is the subdomain in yourcompany.api.accelo.com.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Accelo and this URL, then click Add:
    https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Accelo.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Accelo and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment.
  4. In Plugins, install Accelo, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http accelo https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "accelo": {
      "url": "https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "accelo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add accelo --url https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login accelo

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://accelo.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this Accelo server only. Ask your AI to run accelo_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with accelo_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with accelo_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

  • Create a companyaccelo_create_company
    MUTATES Accelo data: creates a new company (client organization). Accelo API: POST /api/v0/companies (form-encoded). Returns { meta, response } with the created company. (Accelo has no separate delete tool here; to UPDATE, POST to /api/v0/companies/{id}.)

  • Create a taskaccelo_create_task
    MUTATES Accelo data: creates a new task. Accelo tasks are always logged AGAINST an object (a job, company, issue, etc.), so against_type + against_id are required. Accelo API: POST /api/v0/tasks (form-encoded). Returns { meta, response }.
  • Create an activity (log a note/email/call)accelo_create_activity
    MUTATES Accelo data: logs an activity (a note, email, call, or meeting) against an object. This is the highest-value safe write — e.g. add a note/comment to a job or company. against_type + against_id say what it is logged against (required). Accelo API: POST /api/v0/activities (form-encoded). Returns { meta, response }.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)accelo_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featureaccelo_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Accelo tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+accelo_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Accelo (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionaccelo_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Accelo Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run accelo_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Accelo in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check the status of client projects. Find which invoices clients still owe. Summarize the sales pipeline. Review open support tickets. Add a task or log an activity. Look up or add a company and contact. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Accelo product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Accelo. The server calls the Accelo API with your own Accelo access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Accelo to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Accelo key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Accelo client secret, Accelo client id and Accelo deployment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Accelo credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Accelo API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Accelo.

Can the AI change my Accelo data?

Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 23 Accelo tools can create or change data. The other 19 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Accelo server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run accelo_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run accelo_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run accelo_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Accelo tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with accelo_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
