Read and send documents for signature — templates, recipients, fields and folders. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, 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": {
"documenso": {
"url": "https://documenso.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"documenso": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://documenso.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}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 Documenso API token.
Create one in Documenso → Settings → API tokens. Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
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 Documenso API 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 Documenso connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
documenso_list_documents | read | List documents List documents, optionally filtered by status, folder, source template or a text query. Documenso v2: GET /document. |
documenso_get_document | read | Get one document Fetch a single document with its recipients, fields and current status. Documenso v2: GET /document/{documentId}. |
documenso_get_documents_by_ids | read | Get several documents by id Fetch several documents in one call. Read-only despite being a POST — the v2 API is action-shaped. Documenso v2: POST /document/get-many. |
documenso_get_recipient | read | Get one recipient Fetch a single recipient — their email, role, signing order and whether they have signed. Documenso v2: GET /document/recipient/{recipientId}. |
documenso_get_field | read | Get one field Fetch a single document field — its type, page, position and inserted value. Documenso v2: GET /document/field/{fieldId}. |
documenso_list_document_attachments | read | List document attachments List the attachments on one document. Documenso v2: GET /document/attachment. |
documenso_get_document_download_url | read | Get a document download link Get a download URL for a document's PDF. Returns a link, not the file bytes. Documenso v2: GET /document/{documentId}/download. |
documenso_list_templates | read | List templates List reusable document templates. Templates are how you create a new document without uploading a PDF. Documenso v2: GET /template. |
documenso_get_template | read | Get one template Fetch a single template with its recipient placeholders and fields — read this before calling documenso_create_document_from_template so you know the recipient ids. Documenso v2: GET /template/{templateId}. |
documenso_list_folders | read | List folders List folders used to organise documents and templates. Documenso v2: GET /folder. |
documenso_create_document_from_template | write | Create a document from a template Create a new document from an existing template, filling in the real recipients. Set distribute_document to true to send it for signature immediately. Call documenso_get_template first to read the placeholder recipient ids. Documenso v2: POST /template/use. |
documenso_add_recipient | write | Add a recipient to a document Add a signer, approver, viewer or CC to a draft document. Documenso v2: POST /document/recipient/create. |
documenso_distribute_document | write | Send a document for signature Send a draft document to its recipients for signature. This emails real people. Documenso v2: POST /document/distribute. |
documenso_redistribute_document | write | Resend a document to recipients Resend the signing invitation to named recipients of an already-sent document. This emails real people. Documenso v2: POST /document/redistribute. |
documenso_duplicate_document | write | Duplicate a document Copy an existing document into a new draft, keeping its fields. Documenso v2: POST /document/duplicate. |
documenso_create_folder | write | Create a folder Create a folder for organising documents or templates. Documenso v2: POST /folder/create. |
documenso_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. | |
documenso_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Documenso 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. | |
documenso_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Documenso 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. | |
documenso_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Documenso 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 documenso_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tool calls / month |
| Pro | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Documenso server only. Subscribe with documenso_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with documenso_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running documenso_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 Documenso. The server calls the Documenso API with your own Documenso access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
The login page asks for your Documenso API token. 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 Documenso API 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 Documenso 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 Documenso.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 16 Documenso tools can create or change data. The other 10 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Documenso server only. Run documenso_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run documenso_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run documenso_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 documenso_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, 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.
