Before you connect

The login page asks for your User type, User name and Password.

Optional: CXT account id and Server address (own domain only).

Your account id is the 4 digits in your CXT address: for 09870.cxtsoftware.net it is 0987 (drop the trailing 0). If X Dispatch runs on your own domain, leave it empty and fill in the server address. Type the user name without the XDISPATCH- or INET- prefix. An Operations App user can look up orders and plan routes (route planning needs the Itinerary Planning permission); an internet user (with "Allow Web Service API" on) sees the orders of its customer account. A dedicated user with only the permissions you want makes its activity easy to track. CXT bills API calls to your account (the first 5,000 credits a month are free) and the web service needs the integrations option on your plan. Your password is used only to call the CXT Software API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

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 User type, User name and Password. 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.

Example prompts

Turn on the CXT Software connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

Tools 18

ToolTypeWhat it does
cxt_track_shipmentsread
Track shipments
Track orders and route stops by tracking number: matches a parcel reference, a parcel item barcode, or Reference1/Reference2 of an order or route stop. Returns shipment summaries with status events and proof of delivery as far as the caller's permissions allow: an INET login sees the most detail; with an Operations App login this endpoint is called without credentials (CXT lists only internet users and anonymous callers for it), which returns the limited public tracking view. Costs 1 API credit with the vendor. POST /v2/Shipments/Summaries.
cxt_search_shipmentsread
Search orders and route stops
Search orders and route stops by place, address, city, state, postal code, order template, or only by date range. tracking_type says which field search_criteria is matched against: Location (origin/destination or stop name), Address, City, State, Postal (zip or zip+4), Template (order template name), Tracking (references/barcodes) or DateOnly (no criteria: everything between begin_date and end_date). Returns shipment summaries, up to 1000 per page. An INET login sees the most detail; with an Operations App login this endpoint is called without credentials (CXT lists only internet users and anonymous callers for it), so the view is limited. Costs 1 API credit with the vendor. POST /v2/Shipments/Summaries.
cxt_list_recent_ordersread
List recent orders
The most recent orders of the signed-in INTERNET user (user type INET; the orders of their account). Costs 1 API credit with the vendor. POST /v2/Shipments/Summaries with numRecentOrders.
cxt_get_orderread
Get order (internet user)
One on-demand order with its status, confirmation, pickup, delivery and proof-of-delivery details, as an INTERNET user sees it (sign in with user type INET). Optionally with the itemized charges. Operations App users should use cxt_get_dispatch_order. Costs 1 API credit with the vendor. GET /v2/Orders/{orderId}/{includeItemizedCharges}.
cxt_get_dispatch_orderread
Get order (Operations App user)
One on-demand order with itemized charges, as an OPERATIONS APP (X Dispatch) user sees it (sign in with user type XDISPATCH): addresses, times, driver, status events, proof of delivery. Costs 1 API credit with the vendor. GET /v2/Dispatch/Orders/{onDemandOrderId}.
cxt_get_planning_limitsread
Get itinerary planning limits
The itinerary planning limits of this X Dispatch system: maxAllowedStops (shipments x 2), maxAllowedLocations and maxAllowedPlaceholders. Needs an Operations App user with the ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS permission. GET /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Settings.
cxt_validate_driversread
Validate drivers for planning
Check whether drivers are available to be planned: for each driver id, vehicle violations (for example an expired inspection) and HR violations (for example not scheduled), each with isBypassable. Changes nothing. Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Orders/Drivers/Validate.
cxt_validate_driver_for_ordersread
Validate a driver for orders
Check one driver against specific orders: vehicle violations, HR violations and capability violations (for example Hazmat or Lift Gate that the driver lacks). Changes nothing. Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Orders/Drivers/{driverId}/Validate.
cxt_plan_ordersread
Plan orders onto drivers
Generate a proposed itinerary that assigns on-demand orders to drivers (pickup and delivery stops in sequence, with times, distance and unassigned stops). This only PROPOSES a plan: nothing is dispatched until cxt_save_order_plan is called. Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. Check the limits with cxt_get_planning_limits first. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Orders.
cxt_optimize_order_planread
Re-optimize one driver's order plan
Re-optimize a single driver's plan after manual changes (proposal only: nothing is dispatched until cxt_save_order_plan). Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Orders/Optimize.
cxt_plan_routesread
Plan route stops
Generate a proposed re-sequencing of the stops of existing routes for one route date (stops move between the output routes, with times, distance and unassigned stops). Proposal only: nothing changes until cxt_save_route_plan is called. Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Routes/{postDate}.
cxt_optimize_route_planread
Re-optimize one route
Re-optimize a single route after manual changes (proposal only: nothing changes until cxt_save_route_plan). Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Routes/{postDate}/Optimize.
cxt_save_order_planwrite
Save order plan (dispatch orders to drivers)
COMMIT an order plan: assigns the orders to the drivers and DISPATCHES them (drivers receive the work in the driver app; customers may be notified by the system's own status rules). Use only after the user has seen and approved the plan from cxt_plan_orders / cxt_optimize_order_plan. Pass each driver's stops from the plan reply: id, type (PICKUP or DELIVERY), sequence and from (the scheduled time). Response is empty on success (204). Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Orders/Save.
cxt_save_route_planwrite
Save route plan (reassign route stops)
COMMIT a route plan for one route date: moves and re-sequences route stops as in the plan and DISPATCHES the changed routes to drivers. Use only after the user has seen and approved the plan from cxt_plan_routes / cxt_optimize_route_plan. Pass each route's stops from the plan reply: id, sequence and from (the scheduled time). Response is empty on success (204). Needs ITINERARY_PLANNING_ACCESS. POST /v3/ItineraryPlanning/Routes/{postDate}/Save.
cxt_usage_statusmeta
Usage status (free-tier meter)
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.
cxt_request_featuremeta
Request a missing feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the CXT Software (X Dispatch) 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.
cxt_upgrademeta
Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*)
Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on CXT Software (X Dispatch) (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $19/month or $190/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); 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). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
cxt_cancel_subscriptionmeta
Cancel the Pro subscription
Cancel the caller's CXT Software (X Dispatch) 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 cxt_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

Is this an official CXT Software product?

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

Can I connect CXT Software 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 User type, User name and Password. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my CXT Software 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 User type, User name and Password. 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 CXT Software credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the CXT Software 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 CXT Software.

Can the AI change my CXT Software data?

Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 14 CXT Software tools can create or change data. The other 12 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 unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this CXT Software server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run cxt_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run cxt_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run cxt_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a CXT Software tool that I need is missing?

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