Read Cratejoy subscriptions, customers, orders and shipments; skip or cancel subscriptions. 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": {
"cratejoy": {
"url": "https://cratejoy.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"cratejoy": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://cratejoy.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.
The login page asks for your Cratejoy Client ID and Cratejoy Client Secret Key.
A store admin creates them in the Cratejoy Seller Portal under Settings → API → Generate a new Key; the secret is shown only once, so copy both values. They are used only to call the Cratejoy API on your behalf and are never shown to anyone. You can revoke the key in Cratejoy at any time.
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 Cratejoy Client ID and Cratejoy Client Secret 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 Cratejoy connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
cratejoy_get_store_metadata | read | Get store metadata The store-level metadata record (id, store_id, created_at, updated_at, data: free-form JSON attached to the store). GET /v1/metadata/. |
cratejoy_list_customers | read | List customers List customers (id, name, email, country, location, num_orders, num_subscriptions, subscription_status, total_revenue).

cratejoy_skip_subscription_renewal | write | Skip or unskip next renewal WRITE: skip a subscriber's next renewal (action 'skip') or undo the skip (action 'unskip'). Requires confirm=true. Repeating the same action changes nothing more. This changes a merchant customer's subscription in Cratejoy; it is not this server's own billing. PUT /v1/subscriptions/{sub_id}/skip/. |
cratejoy_cancel_customer_subscription | write | Cancel a customer's subscription WRITE: cancel a subscriber's subscription in Cratejoy (the customer stops receiving boxes and renewals). This cancels the merchant's customer subscription, NOT this server's Pro plan (use the *_cancel_subscription tool for that). Requires confirm=true. A cancelled subscription can be restored with cratejoy_reactivate_subscription. PUT /v1/subscriptions/{sub_id}/cancel/. |
cratejoy_reactivate_subscription | write | Reactivate a customer's subscription WRITE: reactivate a cancelled subscription so it renews and charges the customer again. Requires confirm=true. Reactivating an active subscription changes nothing more. PUT /v1/subscriptions/{sub_id}/reactivate/. |
cratejoy_retry_subscription_renewal | write | Retry a failed renewal WRITE: retry the renewal of a PAST-DUE subscription whose renewal failed within the last 30 days. This charges the customer's saved payment method. Requires confirm=true. PUT /v1/subscriptions/{sub_id}/renew/. |
cratejoy_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
cratejoy_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Cratejoy 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. | |
cratejoy_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Cratejoy tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a Stripe Checkout link to open in your browser; after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
cratejoy_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Cratejoy Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run cratejoy_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 store | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Cratejoy server only. Subscribe with cratejoy_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with cratejoy_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running cratejoy_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 Cratejoy. The server calls the Cratejoy API with your own Cratejoy 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 Cratejoy Client ID and Cratejoy Client Secret Key. 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 Cratejoy Client ID and Cratejoy Client Secret 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 Cratejoy 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 Cratejoy.
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 18 Cratejoy 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.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Cratejoy server only. Run cratejoy_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run cratejoy_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run cratejoy_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 cratejoy_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.
