What you can do with TrueContext in Claude and ChatGPT

For field service teams that collect forms and data in TrueContext.

Review recent form submissions

List the form submissions, filtered by date, form or user. Then open one submission to read its details.

Browse the forms in a FormSpace

List the FormSpaces, then the forms in one of them, with the versions of each form.

Check the data sources behind the forms

List the data sources, or lookups, in one FormSpace. Then read the details of one data source.

Fetch fresh data for a lookup source

Ask TrueContext to fetch fresh data for a dynamic data source now. Each call runs a new fetch, and read-only keys cannot use it.

Changes data

Check where submitted data goes

List the data destinations of a FormSpace, where submitted data is sent.

How do I connect TrueContext?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your API Key ID and API Key Secret.

An admin creates the key in TrueContext under Users & Groups → API Keys. API keys need the Intelligent or Elite plan. A read-only key can read data but cannot change it. Your key is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

  4. In Plugins, install TrueContext, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

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

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

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

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

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://truecontext.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 API Key ID and API Key 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.

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

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)truecontext_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 featuretruecontext_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the TrueContext 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+truecontext_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for TrueContext (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 subscriptiontruecontext_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's TrueContext 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 truecontext_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with TrueContext in Claude or ChatGPT?

Review recent form submissions. Browse the forms in a FormSpace. Check the data sources behind the forms. Fetch fresh data for a lookup source. Check where submitted data goes. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official TrueContext product?

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

Can I connect TrueContext 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 Key ID and API Key Secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my TrueContext 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 Key ID and API Key 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.

How do you keep my TrueContext credentials?

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

Can the AI change my TrueContext data?

Yes, if you approve it. 1 of the 15 TrueContext tools can create or change data. The other 14 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 TrueContext server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run truecontext_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run truecontext_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 truecontext_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a TrueContext tool that I need is missing?

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