How do I connect Locate2u?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret.

In Locate2u open Team settings → Apps and click + (a Team Owner can do this). Copy the Client Secret at once: Locate2u shows it only one time. Your credentials are used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Locate2u and this URL, then click Add:
    https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Locate2u.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Locate2u and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret.
  4. In Plugins, install Locate2u, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

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

claude mcp add --transport http locate2u https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "locate2u": {
      "url": "https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

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

{
  "servers": {
    "locate2u": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

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

codex mcp add locate2u --url https://locate2u.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login locate2u

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://locate2u.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 Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret. 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.

Each paid plan covers this Locate2u server only. Ask your AI to run locate2u_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 locate2u_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 locate2u_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)locate2u_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 featurelocate2u_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Locate2u 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+locate2u_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Locate2u (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 subscriptionlocate2u_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Locate2u 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 locate2u_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Locate2u in Claude or ChatGPT?

Plan tomorrow: stops and missing drivers. Review the trips of every driver for a day. Find an order by its reference. Check proof of delivery and customer ratings. Report the distance driven by the team. Leave a note for the driver on a stop. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Locate2u product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Locate2u. The server calls the Locate2u API with your own Locate2u access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Locate2u 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 Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Locate2u 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 Locate2u Client Id and Locate2u Client Secret. 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 Locate2u credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Locate2u 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 Locate2u.

Can the AI change my Locate2u data?

Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 34 Locate2u tools can create or change data. The other 32 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 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Locate2u server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run locate2u_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run locate2u_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 locate2u_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Locate2u tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with locate2u_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.
