Before you connect

Patient data: Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.

The login page asks for your API v3.0 Basic Key and Nookal region.

In Nookal go to Setup → Connections → API v3.0 (GraphQL) → Create New Client, select the locations, enable the queries you want (Locations, Staff, Services, Classes, Appointments, Availabilities, Clients, Cases, Invoices, Payments; no mutations needed), set it Active and copy the Basic Key (shown only once). No API v3.0 menu? Ask Nookal support to enable it. Your key is used only to call the Nookal API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

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 v3.0 Basic Key and Nookal region. 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.

Example prompts

Turn on the Nookal connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

Tools 15

ToolTypeWhat it does
nookal_list_locationsread
List locations

nookal_list_staffread
List practitioners and staff
List staff members and practitioners (id, name, title, speciality, email, location ids, whether they are a provider / bookable online / active). Use the staff ids as provider_ids in list_appointments and staff_ids in get_availability. Nookal GraphQL: staff.
nookal_list_servicesread
List services (appointment types)

nookal_list_classesread
List class types
List the class types offered (id, name, category, duration, price, location, online-booking settings) — the class definitions, not individual sessions. Nookal GraphQL: classes.
nookal_get_availabilityread
Get appointment availability
Get the free appointment slots per date between two dates (max 60 days, Nookal's limit), optionally for given locations, practitioners and a service. Each slot has its date, start time (24h, clinic local time), provider id and location id. Read-only: it does not book anything. Nookal GraphQL: availabilities.
nookal_list_appointmentsread
List appointments
List appointments (date, start/end time, status, type, client, practitioner, case, location, arrived / did-not-arrive flags, notes), filtered by date range, location, client, practitioner, type and status. Dates are clinic local. Nookal GraphQL: appointments.
nookal_search_clientsread
Search clients (patients)
Find clients (patients) by name, date of birth, mobile, email or id. Returns id, name, date of birth, location, active/deceased flags and contact details. With partial_match, names match on their first letters (e.g. 'Sm' finds Smith). Nookal GraphQL: clients.
nookal_get_clientread
Get a client (patient)
Get one client (patient) by id: name, date of birth, contact details, addresses, alerts, allergies, notes, occupation, referring doctor and their treatment cases; optionally a summary of their invoices (totals and balances). Health-fund, pension and online-booking codes are not returned. Nookal GraphQL: clients.
nookal_list_casesread
List treatment cases
List treatment cases (id, client, title, start and referral dates, referrer, primary practitioner, notes), filtered by client, case or practitioner. Nookal GraphQL: cases.
nookal_list_invoicesread
List invoices
List invoices with their line items and payments (number, client, case, location, practitioner, date, subtotal, tax, total, paid, balance), filtered by location, invoice id or creation date. For one client's invoices use get_client with include_invoices. Nookal GraphQL: invoices.
nookal_list_paymentsread
List invoice payments
List payments received against invoices (method, amount, date, reference, invoice, client, location), filtered by invoice or payment date. Nookal GraphQL: payments.
nookal_usage_statusmeta
Usage status (free-tier meter)
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.
nookal_request_featuremeta
Request a missing feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Nookal 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.
nookal_upgrademeta
Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*)
Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Nookal (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $19/month or $190/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); 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). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
nookal_cancel_subscriptionmeta
Cancel the Pro subscription
Cancel the caller's Nookal 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 nookal_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

Is this an official Nookal product?

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

Can I use this server with patient data (PHI)?

No. Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.

Can I connect Nookal 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 API v3.0 Basic Key and Nookal region. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Nookal 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 API v3.0 Basic Key and Nookal region. 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 Nookal credentials?

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

Can the AI change my Nookal data?

All 11 Nookal 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 unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Nookal server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run nookal_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run nookal_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run nookal_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Nookal tool that I need is missing?

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