Read Hub Planner resources, projects, bookings and timesheets; create clients and time entries. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Hub Planner connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For resource managers and project teams using Hub Planner.
Find a resource by name or email, then look up bookings overlapping the dates you need to review.
Retrieve bookings and time entries for the same resource or project and date range to compare planned work with recorded time.
Search projects by status or exact name and browse client records for project planning.
Create a time entry for a resource and project on a specific date. A Read & Write key is required; check the minutes and details before recording.
Changes dataAdd a client by name with a Read & Write key. Check existing clients first to avoid creating a duplicate.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Hub Planner API key.
An administrator can enable API access and generate a key under Settings → API. Use a Read Only key for queries, or a Read & Write key to create clients and time entries. Paste the key itself, without Bearer. Your key is used to call Hub Planner on your behalf.
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": {
"hub-planner": {
"url": "https://hub-planner.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"hub-planner": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://hub-planner.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 Hub Planner API key. 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 API key | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API key | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Hub Planner server only. Ask your AI to run hubplanner_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 hubplanner_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 hubplanner_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 Hub Planner. The server calls the Hub Planner API with your own Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
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 Hub Planner API key. 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 16 Hub Planner tools can create or change data. The other 14 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 Hub Planner server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run hubplanner_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run hubplanner_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 hubplanner_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 hubplanner_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.
