Read devices, users and policies; scan, lock, restart devices and install apps in Hexnode. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Hexnode connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For administrators who manage company phones, tablets and computers with Hexnode.
List the enrolled devices with their last-reported time and compliance. Open one device to see its hardware, owner and groups.
List the policies applied to one device and the apps installed on it. Read one policy to see its settings.
List the locations a device reported over time. The portal returns them only with location tracking enabled.
List the users and open one to see its groups. List the device groups and open one to see its member devices.
Lock devices, with an optional screen message, or restart them. Both need confirm set to true. Then read the action status.
Changes dataFind an app in the portal library, then install it on the devices or device groups you choose.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Hexnode portal name and Hexnode API key.
In your Hexnode portal open Admin → API, turn on Enable API Access and copy the API key. The portal name is the part before .hexnodemdm.com. Your key is used only to call your own portal and is never shown to anyone. We do not ask for an admin password.
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": {
"hexnode": {
"url": "https://hexnode.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"hexnode": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://hexnode.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 Hexnode portal name and Hexnode 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.
| 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 Hexnode server only. Subscribe with hexnode_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with hexnode_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running hexnode_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 Hexnode. The server calls the Hexnode API with your own Hexnode 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 Hexnode portal name and Hexnode API key. 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 Hexnode portal name and Hexnode 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 Hexnode 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 Hexnode.
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 19 Hexnode 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 Hexnode server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run hexnode_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run hexnode_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run hexnode_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 hexnode_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.
