Browse AFAS connectors, read their fields and records in AFAS Software. For Dutch HR, finance and IT teams that read data from AFAS Profit through an app connector. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"afas-software": {
"url": "https://afas-software.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"afas-software": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://afas-software.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
List the GetConnectors that the app connector activates. Use the list to learn which connector names exist.
afas_get_metainfo
Read the field names, types and lengths of one connector. Use them to build filters and sort orders.
afas_get_connector_meta
Read records from one connector, with filters combined by AND, sorting and paging. Without a take value, AFAS returns 100 rows.
afas_get_connector afas_get_connector_meta
Page with skip and take, or set both to -1 to read all rows. AFAS fair use applies to large reads.
afas_get_connector
The login page asks for your AFAS environment ID, Environment type and AFAS app connector token.
Your AFAS administrator creates an app connector in Profit (General → Management → App connector) with the connectors you need, then adds a token for a user in it. The environment ID is the number in your AFAS address (for example O12345AA → 12345). The token is used only to call the AFAS API for you.
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 AFAS environment ID, Environment type and AFAS app connector 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.
Turn on the AFAS Software connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
afas_get_metainfo | read | List connectors List the GetConnectors and UpdateConnectors that the customer's AFAS app connector activates. Use it first to learn which connector names exist. Also checks that the environment and token work. AFAS: GET /profitrestservices/metainfo. |
afas_get_connector_meta | read | Get connector fields Get the field list of one GetConnector: field names, types and lengths. Use it before filtering or sorting. AFAS: GET /profitrestservices/metainfo/get/{connector}. |
afas_get_connector | read | Read a connector Read records from one GetConnector, with optional filters (combined with AND), sorting and paging. Returns { skip, take, rows }. Without take, AFAS returns 100 rows. Page with skip and take. AFAS: GET /profitrestservices/connectors/{connector}. |
afas_usage_status | 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. | |
afas_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the AFAS Software 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. | |
afas_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on AFAS Software (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+, $39/month or $390/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. | |
afas_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's AFAS Software 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 afas_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this AFAS Software server only. Subscribe with afas_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with afas_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running afas_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 AFAS Software. The server calls the AFAS Software API with your own AFAS Software 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 AFAS environment ID, Environment type and AFAS app connector token. 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 AFAS environment ID, Environment type and AFAS app connector 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the AFAS Software 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 AFAS Software.
All 3 AFAS Software tools are marked read-only.
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 AFAS Software server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run afas_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run afas_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run afas_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with afas_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.
