Read DoorLoop properties, units, leases, tenants and payments; create tasks and task updates. For landlords and property managers who run their portfolio in DoorLoop. 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": {
"doorloop": {
"url": "https://doorloop.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"doorloop": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://doorloop.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 charges that still have a balance and map them to leases and tenants. Ask the assistant for a short collections list sorted by amount.
doorloop_list_lease_charges doorloop_list_leases doorloop_list_lease_tenants
List leases with their end dates, rent and status. Ask the assistant which ones end in the next 60 days, so you can plan renewals.
doorloop_list_leases doorloop_get_lease
List the rent payments received on leases for a period. Ask the assistant to compare them with the charges billed and point out the gaps.
doorloop_list_lease_payments doorloop_list_lease_charges
Find a property by name and list its tasks and work orders. Ask the assistant to group them by status, priority and assigned vendor.
doorloop_list_properties doorloop_list_tasks doorloop_list_vendors
Find the unit, then create a task or work order for it. Confirm the details with the assistant first, because each call creates a new task.
Changes data · doorloop_list_units doorloop_create_task
Open a task and post an update on it. You can also change its status, priority, due date or assignees in the same step.

The login page asks for your DoorLoop API key.
Find it in DoorLoop → company Settings → Zapier & API Keys. The key's role decides what this server can read or change. 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.
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 DoorLoop 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 DoorLoop connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
doorloop_get_current_user | read | Get current user Get the DoorLoop user that created this API key. Good first call to confirm the connection. DoorLoop API: GET /users/me. |
doorloop_list_properties | read | List properties List properties (buildings) with address, class and portfolio. DoorLoop API: GET /properties. |
doorloop_get_property | read | Get a property Get one property by id. DoorLoop API: GET /properties/{propertyId}. |

doorloop_list_users | read | List users List DoorLoop users of the company. DoorLoop API: GET /users. |
doorloop_list_accounts | read | List accounts List chart-of-accounts entries. DoorLoop API: GET /accounts. |
doorloop_create_task | write | Create a task WRITE: create a task in DoorLoop. INTERNAL_TASK needs requested_by_user, TENANT_REQUEST needs requested_by_tenant, OWNER_REQUEST needs requested_by_owner, WORK_ORDER needs assigned_to_vendor. Notifications are off unless you set them. Each call creates a new task. DoorLoop API: POST /tasks. |
doorloop_post_task_update | write | Post an update on a task WRITE: post a message on an existing task and optionally change its status, priority, due date or assignees. Each call adds a new update. Notifications are off unless you set them. DoorLoop API: POST /tasks/update. |
doorloop_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. | |
doorloop_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the DoorLoop 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. | |
doorloop_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on DoorLoop (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. | |
doorloop_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's DoorLoop 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 doorloop_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 |
| Pro | $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 DoorLoop server only. Subscribe with doorloop_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with doorloop_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running doorloop_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Find tenants with unpaid balances. Review leases that end soon. Check rent payments received. See open work orders for a property. Create a task for the maintenance team. Update the status of a task. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DoorLoop. The server calls the DoorLoop API with your own DoorLoop 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 DoorLoop 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 DoorLoop 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 DoorLoop 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 DoorLoop.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 21 DoorLoop tools can create or change data. The other 19 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 DoorLoop server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run doorloop_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run doorloop_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run doorloop_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 doorloop_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.
