What you can do with SkuVault in Claude and ChatGPT

For warehouse teams with SkuVault API tokens for an enabled integration user.

Check stock by warehouse and location

Find a product, then inspect its available quantities and stock locations.

Review sales and inventory

List sales in the requested status and compare their items with warehouse stock.

Review purchase-order receiving

List purchase orders and inspect their receiving history to see what has arrived.

Record an inventory adjustment

Inspect the current item quantity, then add or remove the explicitly requested stock at the selected location. Each adjustment changes inventory and must not be blindly repeated.

How do I connect SkuVault?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your SkuVault tenant token and SkuVault user token.

Find both in SkuVault under Admin → Integrations, or request them with SkuVault's getTokens API call (your login email and password; this server never asks for your password). Use an enabled dedicated user with only the permissions this integration needs. Requested inventory, product, sales and purchase-order data passes to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider. When requested, three write tools add stock, remove stock or set the quantity at a warehouse location; these change inventory records. Disable that user to stop its API access, or revoke/regenerate its tokens using SkuVault's controls. Billing follows the tenant token: rotating only the user token keeps the identity; replacing the tenant token starts a new usage and billing identity.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http skuvault https://skuvault.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skuvault": {
      "url": "https://skuvault.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "skuvault": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://skuvault.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add skuvault --url https://skuvault.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login skuvault

Other clients

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.

https://skuvault.usefulapi.io/mcp

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 SkuVault tenant token and SkuVault user token. 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.

Pricing

Each paid plan covers this SkuVault server only. Ask your AI to run skuvault_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 skuvault_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 skuvault_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

  • Add stockskuvault_add_stock
    WRITE: add quantity of a product to a warehouse location (a transaction in SkuVault's history; every call adds again, so do not retry blindly).

  • Remove stockskuvault_remove_stock
    WRITE: remove quantity of a product from a warehouse location (a transaction in SkuVault's history; every call removes again, so do not retry blindly). The transaction reason must already exist in SkuVault. Serialized products need serial numbers. Moderate throttling (10/min).
  • Set stock quantityskuvault_set_stock_quantity

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)skuvault_usage_status
    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.
  • Request a missing featureskuvault_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the SkuVault 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.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+skuvault_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for SkuVault (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. 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). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionskuvault_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's SkuVault 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 skuvault_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with SkuVault in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check stock by warehouse and location. Review sales and inventory. Review purchase-order receiving. Record an inventory adjustment. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official SkuVault product?

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

Can I connect SkuVault 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 SkuVault tenant token and SkuVault user token. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my SkuVault 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 SkuVault tenant token and SkuVault user token. 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 SkuVault credentials?

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

Can the AI change my SkuVault data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 22 SkuVault tools can create or change data. The other 19 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

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 SkuVault server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run skuvault_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run skuvault_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 skuvault_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a SkuVault tool that I need is missing?

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