Read orders, customers, club and stock; add tracking, mark shipped and adjust stock in eCellar. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the eCellar connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For wineries that sell wine through their own web shop, wine club and tasting room with eCellar.
Search the club subscriptions to see each member's tier, signup date and hold or cancel dates. Search the tiers to read their names and brands.
Search the club events to read the dates, ship groups, pickup locations, product totals and remix window of each event. Check the stock counts of the products in the shipment.
Read the order statuses first. Then search the orders by status and date, and read the lines and tracking records of the orders you select.
Read the locations, then the on-hand, on-hold and available counts of the products you choose at each location.
Read the tracking records of the order first. Then add the carrier tracking number. Mark the order shipped only when all its packages have shipped.
Changes dataCheck the current count of the product at the location first. Then adjust it by a signed amount. Repeating the adjustment repeats the change.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your eXchange username and eXchange password.
eCellar issues these API credentials on request: contact eCellar support (the eXchange REST API, see exchange.ecellar-api.com/v1/docs). They are sent as HTTP Basic auth to exchange.ecellar-api.com only. Ask for a user with only the access you want to give. Your login is stored encrypted and used only to call the eCellar API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ecellar": {
"url": "https://ecellar.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"ecellar": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://ecellar.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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 eXchange username and eXchange password. 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.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by eCellar. The server calls the eCellar API with your own eCellar 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 eXchange username and eXchange password. 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 eXchange username and eXchange password. 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 eCellar 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 eCellar.
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 19 eCellar tools can create or change data. The other 15 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 eCellar server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run ecellar_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run ecellar_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run ecellar_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 ecellar_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.
