Read vehicles, positions, idle time, fault codes, driving scores and alerts in GPS Insight. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the GPS Insight connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For fleet managers who track vehicle locations, idling and fault codes in GPS Insight.
List the vehicles on the account, then read the latest location of one vehicle with its speed and ignition state.
List the idle periods of one vehicle on one day, and the fault codes that vehicle reported that day.
Get the driving score of one vehicle for a period, with its daily scores and the events behind them.
List the fuel card transactions of one vehicle between two days.
List the alert types on the account, then read the alert history of one vehicle or one alert.
The login page asks for your GPS Insight username.
Optional: App Token and API user password (only if you have no App Token).
API access must be on for your GPS Insight account, and GPS Insight may charge for it. Create the App Token in the portal: Account → Manage Users → Manage access to api V2 functions → API App. Use an API user for API access only. GPS Insight's terms let GPS Insight use Customer Data to develop and train AI and machine-learning technologies. Your details are used only to call your own GPS Insight account and are 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": {
"gps-insight": {
"url": "https://gps-insight.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"gps-insight": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gps-insight.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 GPS Insight username. 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.
| Plan | Price | Limit |

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by GPS Insight. The server calls the GPS Insight API with your own GPS Insight 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 GPS Insight username. 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 GPS Insight username. 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 GPS Insight 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 GPS Insight.
All 15 GPS Insight 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 GPS Insight server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run gpsinsight_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run gpsinsight_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run gpsinsight_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 gpsinsight_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.
