Read ServiceMonster customers, jobs, orders and schedules, and add customer notes. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the ServiceMonster connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For cleaning and field service teams who manage customers and jobs in ServiceMonster.
Find a customer, read the account profile and review related orders and notes. Related lists return one page at a time; request more pages when needed.
Look up service routes, read the schedule for a chosen date range and inspect detailed schedule items with their associated job or activity details.
Inspect a page of orders for available totals and balances, then open a selected order for details. Continue through additional pages when reviewing more records.
Read the selected account, check the exact wording, then create a note immediately. The API User needs note-writing permission; a Read Only role cannot add notes.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your API User username and API User password.
Use a dedicated ServiceMonster API User, rather than a personal login. API access requires an eligible ServiceMonster plan. Real-account reads and note creation have not been tested; live invalid credentials receive the vendor's authentication rejection.
An administrator creates an API User in Settings → API Users → +API User. API access requires Grow or Premier. Choose Read Only for lookups; adding notes needs a role with note-writing permission. Your requested business/customer records pass through UsefulAPI to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider. Delete or revoke this API User in ServiceMonster to stop vendor access. Billing is per API username: changing its password keeps the same identity, but a different API User starts a separate usage/billing identity. This is an independent integration.
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": {
"servicemonster": {
"url": "https://servicemonster.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"servicemonster": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://servicemonster.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 API User | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API User | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this ServiceMonster server only. Ask your AI to run servicemonster_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 servicemonster_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 servicemonster_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 ServiceMonster. The server calls the ServiceMonster API with your own ServiceMonster 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 ServiceMonster 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 ServiceMonster.
Yes, if you approve it. 1 of the 29 ServiceMonster tools can create or change data. The other 28 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 ServiceMonster server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run servicemonster_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run servicemonster_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 servicemonster_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 servicemonster_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.
