Read work orders, QC inspections, time punches, payroll, scans and customers in Janitorial Manager. For cleaning companies that run their work with Janitorial Manager. 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": {
"janitorial-manager": {
"url": "https://janitorial-manager.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {

"url": "https://janitorial-manager.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 work orders of a period by status. Open one work order to read the full detail.
janitorialmanager_list_work_orders janitorialmanager_get_work_order
Find a customer, then list the inspections. Open one inspection to read the scores and notes.
janitorialmanager_list_customers janitorialmanager_list_quality_controls janitorialmanager_get_quality_control
List the time punches of a date range. Read the payroll data to compare the hours of each employee.
janitorialmanager_list_employees janitorialmanager_list_employee_punches janitorialmanager_get_payroll
List the areas of a location and the area scans of a day. Compare both lists to find the areas without a recorded scan.
janitorialmanager_get_location janitorialmanager_list_areas janitorialmanager_list_area_scans
List the supply orders for the sites. Open the supplier of an order to read the details.
janitorialmanager_list_supply_orders janitorialmanager_list_suppliers janitorialmanager_get_supplier
The login page asks for your Janitorial Manager username, Janitorial Manager password and Company client secret.
Ask your Janitorial Manager account manager or customer support for the company client secret (it enables the open API). Use an active Janitorial Manager user. Your details are used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id.
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 Janitorial Manager username, Janitorial Manager password and Company client secret. 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 Janitorial Manager connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

janitorialmanager_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Janitorial Manager 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. | |

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).

janitorialmanager_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Janitorial Manager 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 janitorialmanager_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 Janitorial Manager server only. Subscribe with janitorialmanager_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with janitorialmanager_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running janitorialmanager_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 Janitorial Manager. The server calls the Janitorial Manager API with your own Janitorial Manager 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 Janitorial Manager username, Janitorial Manager password and Company client secret. 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 Janitorial Manager username, Janitorial Manager password and Company client secret. 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 Janitorial Manager 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 Janitorial Manager.
All 20 Janitorial Manager 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 Janitorial Manager server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run janitorialmanager_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run janitorialmanager_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run janitorialmanager_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 janitorialmanager_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.
