Read properties, reservations, guest access codes, smart locks and thermostats in Operto. For vacation rental and property managers who use Operto for guest access and smart devices. 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": {
"operto": {
"url": "https://operto.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"operto": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://operto.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 properties, then list the reservations of each one. Find the reservations with a check-in today and read the room status.
operto_list_properties operto_list_reservations operto_get_property
List the reservations of a property. Read one reservation for the guest dates and the access codes.
operto_list_reservations operto_get_reservation
List the locks of each property with battery level and locked state. Plan which batteries to replace.
operto_list_properties operto_list_locks
List all thermostats of the organization with their online status. Read one thermostat for its temperature and hold.
operto_list_thermostats operto_list_property_thermostats operto_get_thermostat
The login page asks for your Operto API key and Operto API secret.
Operto issues the API key and secret to your organization. If you have none, ask Operto (your Client Success contact) for API access. Your credentials are used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; they are 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 Operto API key and Operto API 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 Operto connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
operto_list_properties | read | List properties List the properties (units) in your Operto account with their Operto id, partner_id, name and subscription state. Good first call: the ids feed the other tools. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/properties. |
operto_get_property | read | Get a property Get one property by id, including its details and current room status (for example clean-available, guest-checking-in, cleaning-started). Operto API: GET /v2/partners/properties/{property_id}. |
operto_list_reservations | read | List reservations List the reservations of one property: status, check-in and check-out time, guest name, phone, email and door codes. Contains personal guest data. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/properties/{property_id}/reservations. |
operto_get_reservation | read | Get a reservation Get one reservation by id: status, dates, guest contact data and the guest access and checkout codes. Contains personal guest data. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/reservations/{reservation_id}. |
operto_list_locks | read | List locks of a property List the smart locks of one property with name, battery level, locked state and device_id. Read only: this tool does not open or close a lock. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/properties/{property_id}/locks. |
operto_list_thermostats | read | List all thermostats List every smart thermostat in your organization with its property, type (for example EcoBee, Tado) and online status. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/thermostats. |
operto_list_property_thermostats | read | List thermostats of a property List the smart thermostats of one property with type and online status. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/properties/{property_id}/thermostats. |
operto_get_thermostat | read | Get a thermostat Get one thermostat by id: online status, current temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius, and any active hold. Operto API: GET /v2/partners/thermostats/{thermostat_id}. |
operto_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. | |
operto_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Operto 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. | |
operto_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Operto (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. | |
operto_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Operto 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 operto_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 Operto server only. Subscribe with operto_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with operto_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running operto_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
See who checks in today. Look up a reservation and its door codes. Find smart locks with a low battery. Find thermostats that are offline. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Operto. The server calls the Operto API with your own Operto 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 Operto API key and Operto API 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 Operto API key and Operto API 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 Operto 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 Operto.
All 8 Operto 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 Operto server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run operto_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run operto_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run operto_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 operto_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.
