Read PaySpace employees, organization, payroll runs, payslips and leave records. Read-only. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the PaySpace connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For HR and payroll teams who run payroll in PaySpace.
The AI lists the active employees of a company with employee number and dates, and their positions with organization unit, job and manager.
The AI reads the payslip lines of a calendar month, one per component per employee, with code, description and amount, and adds them up per employee.
The AI lists leave applications with type, dates, days and status, for a year and month you give.
The AI lists all employees including terminated ones, and the employment status records with hire, termination, reason and dates.
The AI lists organization units (departments, divisions, cost centres), positions, jobs and regions of a company.
The AI lists leave entitlements with leave type and days per cycle, and the manual changes made to leave balances.
The login page asks for your Client ID and Client secret.
A company administrator creates them in PaySpace under Config > Basic Settings > General Company > Integrations > API Credentials (the secret is shown only once, copy it when you save). The values are used only to get short-lived access tokens and read from the PaySpace API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone. Employee, payslip and leave records are personal data.
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": {
"payspace": {
"url": "https://payspace.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"payspace": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://payspace.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 Client ID and 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.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper company | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per company | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this PaySpace server only. Ask your AI to run payspace_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 payspace_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 payspace_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by PaySpace. The server calls the PaySpace API with your own PaySpace 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 Client ID and Client secret. 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 Client ID and 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the PaySpace 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 PaySpace.
All 21 PaySpace tools are marked read-only.
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 PaySpace server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run payspace_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run payspace_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 payspace_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 payspace_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.
