Review Senta clients, contacts and jobs, and update client records or add notes. For accounting practices managing client records, jobs and follow-up notes in Senta. 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": {
"senta": {
"url": "https://senta.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"senta": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://senta.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.
Find a client by keywords, then inspect the client record and the contacts and fields configured by the practice.
senta_search_clients senta_get_client
List jobs with overdue status, optionally narrowed to a client or job template, to review which work needs attention.
senta_list_jobs
Find the intended client and add the requested note, optionally linked to one of their jobs. This creates a note in Senta.
Changes data · senta_search_clients senta_add_note
Read the current client, then submit the requested field or contact changes. Updating client state or enabling a service can start jobs in Senta.
Changes data · senta_get_client senta_update_client
The login page asks for your Senta workspace name and Senta API key.
The workspace name is the part before .senta.co in your Senta address. Create the key in Senta under Settings → Users → Add integration, then generate its API key (generating a new key stops the old one). The key acts as that integration user and sees your client data. Your key is used only to call the Senta API on your behalf; 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 Senta workspace name and Senta 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 Senta connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
senta_search_clients | read | Search clients Find the practice's clients by keywords. Returns matching clients with their id (`_id`) and name (`title`). Use the id with senta_get_client, senta_list_jobs or senta_add_note. GET /api/clients/search. |
senta_get_client | read | Get a client Read one client: name, state, type, business area, contacts (name, email, mobile, shareholding), address and the other fields the practice configured. GET /api/clients/{id}. |
senta_list_client_view | read | List clients in a saved client list Read a saved client list of the practice (the same filter and columns as in the Senta app). The view id is the last part of the list's address: https://<practice>.senta.co/c/l/v08a361263f4a has the view id v08a361263f4a. Column names are the list's column titles (for example "Client name", "State"). GET /api/clients/{viewId}. |
senta_list_jobs | read | List jobs List jobs (id, client id `cid`, job template id `wid`, title and main date). Filter by client, job template or status (pending, ready, overdue, completed, cancelled). With no filter this is every job of the practice, so filter when you can. GET /api/jobs. |
senta_create_client | write | Create a client WRITE: create a new client (company) in the practice. A name (title) is required; the other fields depend on the practice's own client form. Returns the new client with its id. Check senta_search_clients first so you do not create a duplicate. POST /api/clients. |
senta_update_client | write | Update a client WRITE: partially update an existing client; only submitted properties are changed, per Senta's Client API. Read current contacts with senta_get_client before editing them and pass the contact details to update or add. Changing clientstate or enabling a service can start jobs in Senta. There is no delete tool. PUT /api/clients/{id}. |
senta_add_note | write | Add a note to a client WRITE: add a note to a client, optionally attached to one of its jobs. The text may contain simple HTML. Returns the note. POST /api/notes. |
senta_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. | |
senta_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Senta 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. | |
senta_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Senta (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. | |
senta_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Senta 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 senta_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 practice workspace | $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 Senta server only. Subscribe with senta_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with senta_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running senta_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Review a client and their contacts. Review overdue work. Record a client follow-up. Update selected client details. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Senta. The server calls the Senta API with your own Senta 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 Senta workspace name and Senta API key. 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 Senta workspace name and Senta 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 Senta 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 Senta.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 7 Senta tools can create or change data. The other 4 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
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 Senta server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run senta_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run senta_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run senta_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 senta_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.
