Read Hub Planner resources, projects, bookings and timesheets; create clients and time entries. For resource managers and project teams using Hub Planner. 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": {
"hub-planner": {
"url": "https://hub-planner.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"hub-planner": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://hub-planner.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.
Find a resource by name or email, then look up bookings overlapping the dates you need to review.
hubplanner_search_resources hubplanner_search_bookings
Retrieve bookings and time entries for the same resource or project and date range to compare planned work with recorded time.
hubplanner_search_bookings hubplanner_search_time_entries
Search projects by status or exact name and browse client records for project planning.
hubplanner_search_projects hubplanner_list_clients
Create a time entry for a resource and project on a specific date. A Read & Write key is required; check the minutes and details before recording.
Changes data · hubplanner_create_time_entry
Add a client by name with a Read & Write key. Check existing clients first to avoid creating a duplicate.

The login page asks for your Hub Planner API key.
An administrator can enable API access and generate a key under Settings → API. Use a Read Only key for queries, or a Read & Write key to create clients and time entries. Paste the key itself, without Bearer. Your key is used to call Hub Planner on your behalf.
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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

hubplanner_search_projects | read | Search projects Search projects by exact name or status. Pagination is zero-based. |
hubplanner_search_resources | read | Search resources Search resources by exact email, first name, last name or status. Pagination is zero-based. |
hubplanner_search_bookings | read | Search bookings Find bookings for a resource, project or date range. start/end select bookings overlapping that inclusive range. Pagination is zero-based. |
hubplanner_search_time_entries | read | Search time entries Find time entries by resource, project, inclusive YYYY-MM-DD date range or submission status. Pagination is zero-based. |
hubplanner_create_time_entry | write | Create time entry WRITE: Create a time entry for a resource and project on one date. Requires a Read & Write API key. This records actual worked time and can affect reports and billing; verify details first. No automatic retries. |
hubplanner_create_client | write | Create client WRITE: Create a client by name. Requires a Read & Write API key. Repeating the call can create duplicates. |
hubplanner_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. | |
hubplanner_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Hub Planner 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. | |
hubplanner_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Hub Planner (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. | |
hubplanner_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Hub Planner 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 hubplanner_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 API key | $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 Hub Planner server only. Subscribe with hubplanner_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with hubplanner_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running hubplanner_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Check team allocations. Compare booked and logged time. Find active projects and clients. Record completed work. Create a client record. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hub Planner. The server calls the Hub Planner API with your own Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 16 Hub Planner tools can create or change data. The other 14 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 Hub Planner server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run hubplanner_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run hubplanner_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run hubplanner_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 hubplanner_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.
