Read projects, designs, pricing and financings; update projects and notes in Aurora Solar. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Aurora Solar connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For solar sales and design teams that plan systems and proposals in Aurora Solar.
Read the tenant to see the valid statuses. List the newest projects and open one to read the customer, the address and the owner.
List the designs of a project. Read the system summary and the pricing of a design, with the price per watt, adders and incentives.
List the financing options of a design: cash, loan, lease or PPA. Read the web proposal link and check if it expired.
List the design requests, filtered by status, newest first. Ask the assistant to list the open ones with their projects.
Read the estimated year-1 bill of a project without solar. Read the bill of a design with solar. Ask the assistant to show the difference.
Read the current note of a project first. Then change the status after the customer signs, and replace the note with the new text.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Aurora API key and Aurora tenant id.
An Admin creates the key in Aurora → Settings → API Tokens. A restricted key is the safest choice: allow only the actions you need. The tenant id is shown on the same page. Your key is used only to call the Aurora API on your behalf and to derive a private account id.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aurora-solar": {
"url": "https://aurora-solar.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"aurora-solar": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://aurora-solar.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
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.
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 Aurora API key and Aurora tenant id. 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.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Aurora Solar server only. Ask your AI to run aurora_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 aurora_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 aurora_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Aurora Solar. The server calls the Aurora Solar API with your own Aurora Solar access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
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.
The login page asks for your Aurora API key and Aurora tenant id. See Before you connect for where to find them.
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 Aurora API key and Aurora tenant id. 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Aurora Solar 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 Aurora Solar.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 28 Aurora Solar tools can create or change data. The other 26 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
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 Aurora Solar server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run aurora_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run aurora_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 aurora_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with aurora_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.
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.
