Review Famly sites, staff, invoices and payments through its public API. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Famly connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For nursery administrators, finance teams and staff coordinators using Famly.
List invoice summaries for a site and date range, then inspect known invoices by ID to review their totals, dates and bill payer references.
Review contracted, attended, scheduled and break minutes, then compare the reported differences for the staff and date range you select.
Review staff check-in and check-out times alongside the employee directory and work tags to understand the recorded attendance.
Inspect payment amounts, dates, currencies and transaction statuses for a site and date range before preparing a finance summary.
List room and group names, institution IDs and staffing ratios for the site sets you select.
The login page asks for your Famly region and Famly API token.
Create a site or organisation token in Famly Settings → Manage API tokens (site tokens are under Integrations). Grant only the read permissions you need, including access to sites. Choose General (CO) or DACH (DE), matching your Famly account. API access depends on your package. Billing and usage are per region and API token; replacing a token creates a separate connection identity.
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": {
"famly": {
"url": "https://famly.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"famly": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://famly.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 Famly region and Famly API token. 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 region and API token | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per region and API token | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Famly server only. Ask your AI to run famly_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 famly_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 famly_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 Famly. The server calls the Famly API with your own Famly 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 Famly region and Famly API token. 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 Famly region and Famly API token. 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 Famly 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 Famly.
All 12 Famly tools are marked read-only.
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 Famly server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run famly_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run famly_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 famly_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 famly_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.
