What you can do with ReturnLogic in Claude and ChatGPT

For e-commerce teams that handle returns, refunds and exchanges in ReturnLogic.

Find returns that need action

Count the returns that require action, then list them by status, return type or date range.

Review one return and its history

Open one return to see its comments, items, reasons and timeline. Read the return-type changes of one item.

Look up an order and its customer

Find an order by number or customer email, then read its items, addresses and statuses, and the customer record.

Check products and return categories

Look up products by SKU and read their variants. List the product categories that return rules use.

Flag a return for the team

Flag a return with an optional comment, so the team can filter for it. A flag cannot be removed, and nothing is sent to the customer.

Changes data

Mark return items received

Record the warehouse receipt of return items. When every item is received, the store may process the return automatically.

How do I connect ReturnLogic?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your ReturnLogic API token.

In ReturnLogic open Settings → Applications → Private and generate a token. It stays valid until you revoke it there. Your token is used only to call the ReturnLogic API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name ReturnLogic and this URL, then click Add:
    https://returnlogic.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your ReturnLogic API token.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on ReturnLogic.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name ReturnLogic and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://returnlogic.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your ReturnLogic API token.
  4. In Plugins, install ReturnLogic, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

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

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

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add returnlogic --url https://returnlogic.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login returnlogic

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://returnlogic.usefulapi.io/mcp

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 ReturnLogic 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.

  • Mark RMA items receivedreturnlogic_mark_rma_items_received
    WRITE: record the warehouse receipt of one or more RMA items (received true/false, optional disposition code that must already exist in ReturnLogic).

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)returnlogic_usage_status
    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.
  • Request a missing featurereturnlogic_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the ReturnLogic 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.
  • Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*)returnlogic_upgrade
    Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on ReturnLogic (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.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionreturnlogic_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's ReturnLogic 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 returnlogic_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with ReturnLogic in Claude or ChatGPT?

Find returns that need action. Review one return and its history. Look up an order and its customer. Check products and return categories. Flag a return for the team. Mark return items received. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official ReturnLogic product?

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

Can I connect ReturnLogic to Claude or ChatGPT?

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.

What do I need to connect?

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

Do I put my ReturnLogic 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 ReturnLogic 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 ReturnLogic credentials?

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

Can the AI change my ReturnLogic data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 18 ReturnLogic tools can create or change data. The other 15 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 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 ReturnLogic server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run returnlogic_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

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

What if a ReturnLogic tool that I need is missing?

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