}
}
}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.
Check the availability of a date for a party size. List the tables and table combinations to see which seat a larger group.
gotable_list_restaurants gotable_get_availability gotable_list_tables gotable_list_combinations
List the reservations of a day with the guest comments. Open one reservation to read the notes, allergies and diets before service.
gotable_list_reservations gotable_get_reservation gotable_list_reservation_notes gotable_get_guest
Search the guests with many visits and an old last visit date. Use the list for a message to guests who stopped coming.
gotable_list_guests gotable_get_guest
Change the time of a reservation, then add an internal note with the reason. Staff see the note on the reservation.

The login page asks for your GoTable API key.
Create a restaurant key in GoTable → your restaurant → Integrations. Or create an account key (all your restaurants) in your personal account → Settings. The 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 GoTable 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 GoTable connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
gotable_list_restaurants | read | List restaurants List the restaurants this API key can access (id, name, address, time zone, currency). Call this first: every other tool needs a restaurant_id. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants. |
gotable_get_restaurant | read | Get a restaurant Get one restaurant by id. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}. |
gotable_list_accounts | read | List accounts of a restaurant List the staff accounts that have access to a restaurant (id, name, e-mail). The account id is the author_id that gotable_create_reservation_note needs. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/accounts. |
gotable_get_availability | read | Get availability Get the real-time availability of a restaurant per date: closed flag and the time slots with the minimum and maximum party size. The range is capped at 3 months after `from`. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/availability. |
gotable_get_offer_availability | read | Get availability of an offer Get the availability per date of one offer (for example a tasting menu). GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/offers/{offer_id}/availability. |
gotable_list_offers | read | List offers List the offers of a restaurant (deposit per guest, visibility, booking window, translations). GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/offers. |
gotable_get_offer | read | Get an offer Get one offer by id. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/offers/{offer_id}. |
gotable_list_reservations | read | List reservations Search the reservations of a restaurant. `query` mixes free text with filters: fields type, offer_id, date, time, starts_at, ends_at, state, party_size, guest_name, guest_email, guest_telephone, comments, duration_in_minutes; operators <= < >= > != = == : ~ !: !~. Example: "John date>=2026-10-19 state=confirmed party_size=2". States: pending, rejected, confirmed, checked_in, checked_out, cancelled, expired, reconfirmed, skipped and others. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations. |
gotable_get_reservation | read | Get a reservation Get one reservation with state, guest data, tables, payment and notes. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations/{reservation_id}. |
gotable_list_reservation_notes | read | List notes of a reservation List the internal notes of a reservation. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations/{reservation_id}/notes. |
gotable_list_guests | read | List guests Search the guests of a restaurant. `query` mixes free text with filters: fields name, email, telephone, last_visit, visits, reservations; operators <= < >= > != = == : ~ !: !~. Example: "visits>=5". GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/guests. |
gotable_get_guest | read | Get a guest Get one guest with visits, last visit, diets, allergies and tags. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/guests/{guest_id}. |
gotable_list_tables | read | List tables List the tables of a restaurant (label, section, minimum and maximum party size). GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/tables. |
gotable_list_combinations | read | List table combinations List the table combinations of a restaurant (groups of tables that seat one larger party). GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/combinations. |
gotable_list_reviews | read | List reviews List the guest reviews of a restaurant (rating, text, state). Needs the `reviews` feature in the GoTable plan; else the API returns an error. GoTable API: GET /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reviews. |
gotable_create_reservation | write | Create a reservation WRITE: create a reservation as the restaurant (skips most availability checks, so check gotable_get_availability first). Needs date and time, or type WalkIn for a guest at the door. By default GoTable e-mails and texts the guest: set skip_email / skip_sms to stop that. Not idempotent: a repeat call creates a second reservation. GoTable API: POST /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations. |
gotable_update_reservation | write | Update a reservation WRITE: change the details of a reservation (date, time, party size, guest data, comments, duration, tables). Send only the fields to change. GoTable API: PUT /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations/{reservation_id}. |
gotable_cancel_reservation | write | Cancel a reservation WRITE: cancel a reservation as the restaurant. By default GoTable e-mails and texts the guest: set skip_email / skip_sms to stop that. GoTable API: POST /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations/{reservation_id}/cancel. |
gotable_create_reservation_note | write | Add a note to a reservation WRITE: add an internal note to a reservation. author_id is a staff account id (from gotable_list_accounts). Not idempotent. GoTable API: POST /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/reservations/{reservation_id}/notes. |
gotable_create_guest | write | Create a guest WRITE: add a guest to the guest book of a restaurant. Not idempotent. GoTable API: POST /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/guests. |
gotable_update_guest | write | Update a guest WRITE: change the name, e-mail, telephone or marketing consent of a guest. Send only the fields to change. GoTable API: PATCH /api/v1/restaurants/{restaurant_id}/guests/{guest_id}. |
gotable_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. | |
gotable_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the GoTable 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. | |
gotable_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on GoTable (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. | |
gotable_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's GoTable 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 gotable_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 GoTable server only. Subscribe with gotable_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with gotable_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running gotable_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 GoTable. The server calls the GoTable API with your own GoTable 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 GoTable 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 GoTable 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 GoTable 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 GoTable.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 21 GoTable 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 GoTable server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run gotable_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run gotable_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run gotable_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 gotable_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.
