How do I connect Engagedly?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Engagedly Client Key and Engagedly Secret Key.

A Site Administrator creates both keys in Engagedly under Integrations → Engagedly API. Engagedly shows the Secret Key only once. The keys carry the rights of the person who made them. We use them only to call the API for you.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http engagedly https://engagedly.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engagedly": {
      "url": "https://engagedly.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "engagedly": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://engagedly.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add engagedly --url https://engagedly.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login engagedly

Other clients

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.

https://engagedly.usefulapi.io/mcp

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 Engagedly Client Key and Engagedly 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.

    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Engagedly tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter).

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.

FAQ

What can I do with Engagedly in Claude or ChatGPT?

Map departments and reporting lines. Check learner progress for a course. Find certificates that expire soon. Review recognition between employees. Audit user permissions. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Engagedly product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Engagedly. The server calls the Engagedly API with your own Engagedly access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Engagedly to Claude or ChatGPT?

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.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Engagedly Client Key and Engagedly Secret Key. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Engagedly key or an Authorization header in the client config?

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 Engagedly Client Key and Engagedly 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.

How do you keep my Engagedly credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Engagedly 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 Engagedly.

Can the AI change my Engagedly data?

All 20 Engagedly tools are marked read-only.

What does it cost?

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 Engagedly server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run engagedly_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run engagedly_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run engagedly_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Engagedly tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with engagedly_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.

Which AI clients can I use?

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.
