MCP server for MarketTime — wholesale orders, customers, catalog and shipment tracking. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the MarketTime connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For MarketTime Rep Groups and Manufacturers with an Elite subscription and Public API access.
Search orders by customer, purchase order number or dates and inspect their line details.
Find a customer and inspect its contacts and ship-to locations.
Find items in the catalog, then review available inventory and pricing.
Inspect an order and its existing shipments, then record a shipment with tracking when requested. This write is available to Manufacturer accounts.
Changes dataCheck for an existing customer before creating a new customer record with the supplied name, email and phone.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Rep Group or Manufacturer ID and MarketTime API key.
Rep Group and Manufacturer users with an Elite subscription can generate a dedicated key under Billing & Payment → API Key → Generate Key. It is displayed only once. The ID is the one that starts with R (Rep Group, like R123) or M (Manufacturer, like M123). Requested wholesale customer, order, catalog and commission records pass to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider. When requested, tools can create a customer or add shipment/tracking information to an order; they do not charge cards or refund payments. Regenerate the key in MarketTime to stop vendor access. Billing follows the verified Rep Group or Manufacturer ID; rotating its key keeps that 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": {
"markettime": {
"url": "https://markettime.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"markettime": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://markettime.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 Rep Group or Manufacturer ID and MarketTime 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 Rep Group or Manufacturer account | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per Rep Group or Manufacturer account | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this MarketTime server only. Ask your AI to run markettime_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 markettime_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 markettime_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 MarketTime. The server calls the MarketTime API with your own MarketTime 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 Rep Group or Manufacturer ID and MarketTime API key. 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 Rep Group or Manufacturer ID and MarketTime 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 MarketTime 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 MarketTime.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 18 MarketTime tools can create or change data. The other 16 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 MarketTime server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run markettime_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run markettime_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 markettime_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 markettime_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.
