Read services, prices and open dates; create leads, quotes, bookings and notes in MaidCentral. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the MaidCentral connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For cleaning companies that run quotes, leads and bookings in MaidCentral.
List the service types, frequencies and pricing questions. Then calculate the price of a weekly clean. Nothing is stored.
Find the dates on which a job of a given length can be booked. Check that the postal code is in a service zone.
Open a lead to see the contact details, source and status. Then open its quote to read the price, hours and booked state per scope.
Create a lead with the name, phone and postal code and pick a customer source. Turn off the lead email if you do not want to send it.
Changes dataCreate a quote for a lead, check open dates, then book the quote on the first job date. Booking emails are optional.
Changes dataAdd a note, call or text record to a customer found by email or phone, for example the access instructions.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your API user username and API user password.
In MaidCentral, sign in as an Administrator and open Company → Settings → General → Integrations. Create an API user there. If you do not see the API User section, ask MaidCentral Support to enable it. Your credentials are used only to call the API for you and to derive a private account id.
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": {
"maidcentral": {
"url": "https://maidcentral.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"maidcentral": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://maidcentral.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 API user username and API user 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.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this MaidCentral server only. Ask your AI to run maidcentral_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 maidcentral_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 maidcentral_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 MaidCentral. The server calls the MaidCentral API with your own MaidCentral 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 API user username and API user password. 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 API user username and API user 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the MaidCentral 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 MaidCentral.
Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 20 MaidCentral tools can create or change data. The other 15 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 MaidCentral server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run maidcentral_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run maidcentral_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 maidcentral_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 maidcentral_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.
