Read schedules, students and packages; add or change classes, events and students in BailaYa. For dance studio owners and managers who run classes, events and students in BailaYa. 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": {
"bailaya": {
"url": "https://bailaya.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"bailaya": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://bailaya.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 studio's classes with date, time, instructor, room and capacity. Open one class by id for its details.
bailaya_list_classes bailaya_get_class
When the studio owner asks, list the students and open one record to check its level and status.
bailaya_list_students bailaya_get_student
List the studio's events, rooms and team members before you plan a new workshop.
bailaya_list_events bailaya_list_rooms bailaya_list_team_members
Create one class occurrence on a date. The class becomes visible on the studio's booking page.
Changes data · bailaya_create_class
Change the time, instructor, room, capacity or price of one class. Delete one class, or every occurrence of a series. A delete cannot be undone.
Changes data · bailaya_update_class bailaya_delete_class
The login page asks for your BailaYa studio API key.
Create it in BailaYa → Settings → API keys. Give it the read scopes you want (for example classes:read, students:read, locations:read) and the write scopes only if you want the assistant to change data. The key is bound to one studio and is used only to call the API on your behalf.
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 BailaYa studio API key. 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 BailaYa connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

bailaya_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the BailaYa 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. | |
bailaya_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on BailaYa (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. | |
bailaya_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's BailaYa 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 bailaya_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 BailaYa server only. Subscribe with bailaya_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with bailaya_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running bailaya_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
List the classes with their instructor and room. Review a student's level and status. Check events, rooms and team before a workshop. Add a class to the booking page. Change or delete a class. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by BailaYa. The server calls the BailaYa API with your own BailaYa 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 BailaYa studio API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
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 BailaYa studio API key. 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 BailaYa 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 BailaYa.
Yes, if you approve it. 7 of the 24 BailaYa tools can create or change data. The other 17 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 unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this BailaYa server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run bailaya_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run bailaya_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run bailaya_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 bailaya_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.
