Read volunteer needs, sign-ups, logged hours, users and agencies in Galaxy Digital. For volunteer coordinators and nonprofits that run volunteer programs on Galaxy Digital. 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": {
"galaxy-digital": {
"url": "https://galaxy-digital.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"galaxy-digital": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://galaxy-digital.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 needs with title, agency, dates and the number of volunteers wanted. Filter by agency or status.
galaxydigital_list_needs galaxydigital_list_agencies
Open a need and list its sign-ups with the volunteer, shift and status. Read the custom questions that volunteers answered.
galaxydigital_get_need galaxydigital_list_need_responses galaxydigital_list_need_questions
List the logged hours with user, need, date and approval status. Ask the assistant for totals per need.
galaxydigital_list_hours galaxydigital_get_hour
Search the users by name or email and read the profile. List the users who hold a qualification or a benchmark to find the right volunteer.
galaxydigital_list_users galaxydigital_get_user galaxydigital_list_qualification_users galaxydigital_list_benchmark_users
Open an agency and read its managers. Use the list to find the contact for a need.
galaxydigital_get_agency galaxydigital_list_agency_managers
The login page asks for your Site API key, API user email, API user password and Region.
Galaxy Digital issues the site API key for your site (ask your Galaxy Digital contact or support). Use an API user with only the access you want to share. The password is stored encrypted for this connection and is used only to log in to the Galaxy Digital API for you.
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 Site API key, API user email, API user password and Region. 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 Galaxy Digital connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

galaxydigital_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Galaxy Digital 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. | |
galaxydigital_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Galaxy Digital (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. | |
galaxydigital_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Galaxy Digital 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 galaxydigital_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 user | $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 Galaxy Digital server only. Subscribe with galaxydigital_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with galaxydigital_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running galaxydigital_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 Galaxy Digital. The server calls the Galaxy Digital API with your own Galaxy Digital 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 Site API key, API user email, API user password and Region. 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 Site API key, API user email, API user password and Region. 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 Galaxy Digital 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 Galaxy Digital.
All 29 Galaxy Digital tools are marked read-only.
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 Galaxy Digital server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run galaxydigital_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run galaxydigital_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run galaxydigital_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 galaxydigital_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.
