How do I connect A-Cube?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your A-Cube account email, A-Cube account password and Environment.

Use your authorized A-Cube API account and choose sandbox or production. Production Italy API access must already be enabled and permit this hosted connection under your vendor contract; vendor charges are separate. Your password is sent to A-Cube only for this login and is not stored. We retain only the encrypted vendor JWT, valid for up to24hours; reconnect when it expires or is revoked. Requested fiscal invoices, tax identifiers and receipts reach your connected AI client/provider. Connect only data you are authorized to process there. Production draft submission is a legal act and may be billed; it requires explicit confirmation. A-Cube acceptance does not prove SDI delivery: inspect invoice notifications. No operation is automatically replayed; check A-Cube after an uncertain write. Disconnect UsefulAPI to stop this connection; an issued JWT may remain valid until vendor expiry or revocation.

Claude Code

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

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

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

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

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://acube.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 A-Cube account email, A-Cube account password and Environment. 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 A-Cube server only. Ask your AI to run acube_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 acube_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 acube_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

  • Create a draft invoiceacube_create_draft_invoice
    WRITE: saves a new invoice as a DRAFT in A-Cube. Nothing is sent to the SDI until acube_send_draft_invoice. Not idempotent: calling it twice creates two drafts. Validate first with acube_validate_invoice.
  • Send a draft invoice to the SDIacube_send_draft_invoice
    WRITE: accepts a draft and transmits it to the Sistema di Interscambio. This is a legal act: a sent e-invoice cannot be recalled (only corrected with a credit note) and may be billed by A-Cube. Without confirm: true it only returns the draft for review. Show the draft to the user and get their explicit OK first.
  • Delete a draft invoiceacube_delete_draft_invoice
    WRITE: permanently deletes a draft invoice (a draft only: a sent invoice answers 409). Without confirm: true it only returns the draft.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)acube_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 featureacube_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the A-Cube 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+acube_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for A-Cube (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 subscriptionacube_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's A-Cube 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 acube_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with A-Cube in Claude or ChatGPT?

Review invoice delivery. Review electronic receipts. Validate an invoice draft. Prepare an agreed draft. Submit an approved draft. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official A-Cube product?

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

Can I connect A-Cube 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 A-Cube account email, A-Cube account password and Environment. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my A-Cube 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 A-Cube account email, A-Cube account password and Environment. 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 A-Cube credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the A-Cube 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 A-Cube.

Can the AI change my A-Cube data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 24 A-Cube tools can create or change data. The other 21 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 A-Cube server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run acube_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run acube_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 acube_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a A-Cube tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with acube_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.
