What you can do with Inzetrooster in Claude and ChatGPT

For volunteer and staff coordinators who fill shifts in Inzetrooster.

Find shifts that still need a person

List the shifts of the coming weeks and keep only the open ones. The open filter applies to the returned page only.

Count the shifts of each group

List the groups that have shifts in a date window, with the shift count of each. Counts come from the first 500 shifts only, so use a narrow window. Then list the shifts of one group.

Check the cover for one month

List the shifts of one month, filtered by group, location or weekday, to see which shifts are covered.

Prepare a reminder list for a group

List the shifts of one group in a week. The result includes the names of the assigned volunteers, for a reminder list.

How do I connect Inzetrooster?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Inzetrooster account name and Inzetrooster API token.

Your account name is the part after inzetrooster.nl/ in your address. Ask Inzetrooster support for an API token (premium accounts only). Your token is used only to read your shifts on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude Code

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

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

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

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

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://inzetrooster.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 Inzetrooster account name and Inzetrooster 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.

Pricing

Free$050 tool calls / month
Proper user$9/mo · $90/yr10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per user$39/mo · $390/yr100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Inzetrooster server only. Ask your AI to run inzetrooster_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 inzetrooster_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 inzetrooster_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

  • List shiftsinzetrooster_list_shifts
    List shifts (diensten) of the Inzetrooster account, with group, location, time and the assigned person. Without filters the API returns the next 12 months of published shifts. Includes private groups and volunteer names. Set open_only to keep only shifts with no person assigned (applies to the returned page only).
  • List groupsinzetrooster_list_groups
    List the groups (ploegen) that have shifts in a date window, with the number of shifts per group. Derived from the shifts on the first page (up to 500 shifts): a group with no shifts in the window does not appear. Includes private groups. Use the ids with inzetrooster_list_shifts.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)inzetrooster_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 featureinzetrooster_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Inzetrooster 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+inzetrooster_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Inzetrooster (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 subscriptioninzetrooster_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Inzetrooster 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 inzetrooster_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Inzetrooster in Claude or ChatGPT?

Find shifts that still need a person. Count the shifts of each group. Check the cover for one month. Prepare a reminder list for a group. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Inzetrooster product?

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

Can I connect Inzetrooster 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 Inzetrooster account name and Inzetrooster API token. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Inzetrooster 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 Inzetrooster account name and Inzetrooster 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.

How do you keep my Inzetrooster credentials?

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

Can the AI change my Inzetrooster data?

All 2 Inzetrooster tools are marked read-only.

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 Inzetrooster server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run inzetrooster_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run inzetrooster_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 inzetrooster_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Inzetrooster tool that I need is missing?

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