Read Rackbeat products, location stock, sales orders and customer summaries. For inventory and sales teams using Rackbeat. 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": {
"rackbeat": {
"url": "https://rackbeat.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"rackbeat": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://rackbeat.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.
Search products and inspect available quantities, then open a product summary to review stock and pricing before planning replenishment.
rackbeat_products rackbeat_get_product
Compare stock and available quantities for one product across warehouse locations. Review a bounded portion of the result to see which locations need closer attention.
rackbeat_product_locations
Find sales orders by customer or status, review shipment and invoice status, and inspect a bounded page of line quantities and prices before planning next steps.
rackbeat_orders rackbeat_get_order
Find the customer number for a company, then use it to narrow sales orders for a focused account review.

The login page asks for your Rackbeat API key.
In Rackbeat, open Company Settings → API → Create New. Name a dedicated key for this integration and grant only the scopes needed for the data you want to read. Your account must allow API access. The connection checks /self; tool access depends on your key's permissions. This integration only reads data. Rackbeat's 480 requests/minute quota is shared by your account. UsefulAPI billing follows the connected Rackbeat account and user.
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 Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
rackbeat_account | read | Read Rackbeat account Read the connected Rackbeat account and user IDs, company name and readiness. Omits addresses and email details. |
rackbeat_products | read | Search Rackbeat products Read one bounded page of product summaries, stock and available quantities. Optional search and barred/sellable filters are sent to Rackbeat. Does not change inventory. |
rackbeat_get_product | read | Read Rackbeat product stock Read one product's pricing and inventory quantities using its product number. Does not change stock, pricing or product data. |
rackbeat_product_locations | read | Read Rackbeat stock by location Read stock and available quantities for one product across warehouse locations. only_toplevel is an upstream filter. offset/limit slice a bounded complete upstream response locally; very large responses require the Rackbeat dashboard. |
rackbeat_orders | read | Search Rackbeat sales orders Read one bounded page of sales order summaries, totals and shipment/invoice status. Optional search, customer number and status filters are sent to Rackbeat. Does not book, cancel or ship orders. |
rackbeat_get_order | read | Read Rackbeat sales order Read an order summary plus a bounded page of line quantities and prices. line_offset/line_limit slice locally after fetching one complete order within the response-size limit. Omits attachments, addresses and notes. Does not change the order. |
rackbeat_customers | read | Search Rackbeat customers Read one bounded page of customer number, name, company, currency and barred/deleted status. Optional text search is sent to Rackbeat. Omits contact details, addresses and payment settings. |
rackbeat_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. | |
rackbeat_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Rackbeat 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. | |
rackbeat_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Rackbeat (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. | |
rackbeat_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Rackbeat 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 rackbeat_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 Rackbeat server only. Subscribe with rackbeat_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with rackbeat_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running rackbeat_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Review products with low available stock. Compare stock across warehouse locations. Check sales orders before shipping. Find customer numbers for sales lookups. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rackbeat. The server calls the Rackbeat API with your own Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat.
All 7 Rackbeat 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 Rackbeat server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run rackbeat_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run rackbeat_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run rackbeat_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 rackbeat_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.
