Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http recharge https://recharge.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recharge": {
      "url": "https://recharge.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "recharge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://recharge.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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.

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Recharge API token.

Find it in the Recharge admin → Apps → API tokens (the token needs read/write scopes for the resources you want to use). Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is 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 Recharge API token. 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.

Example prompts

Turn on the Recharge connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

Request a missing feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Recharge tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter).

Does not count against the meter.

recharge_cancel_subscriptionmeta
Cancel the Pro subscription
Cancel the caller's Recharge Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run recharge_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

Is this an official Recharge product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Recharge. The server calls the Recharge API with your own Recharge access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Recharge API token. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Recharge key or an Authorization header in the client config?

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 Recharge API token. 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.

How do you keep my Recharge credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Recharge 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 Recharge.

Can the AI change my Recharge data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 15 Recharge tools can create or change data. The other 12 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 100 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Recharge server only. Run recharge_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run recharge_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run recharge_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Recharge tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with recharge_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.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, 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.
