Read projects, bookings, time and vacations; create bookings, time entries and projects in Teamdeck. For agencies and teams that plan resources and track time in Teamdeck. 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": {
"teamdeck": {
"url": "https://teamdeck.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"teamdeck": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://teamdeck.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.

teamdeck_list_projects teamdeck_get_project teamdeck_list_bookings

The login page asks for your Teamdeck API key.
An organization owner makes the key in Teamdeck under Settings → Integrations → API keys. Pick read for read-only tools or read + write to also create bookings, time entries and projects. The key is used only to call the API for you.
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 Teamdeck 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 Teamdeck connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
teamdeck_get_organization | read | Get organization Return the Teamdeck organization: name, work week and settings. Also a cheap check that the key works. |
teamdeck_list_projects | read | List projects List projects in the organization. Filter by name or archived state. |
teamdeck_get_project | read | Get project Get one project by id. |
teamdeck_list_resources | read | List resources List resources (people) in the organization. By default only active resources return. |
teamdeck_get_resource | read | Get resource Get one resource (person) by id. |
teamdeck_list_bookings | read | List bookings List planned work (bookings): who is booked on which project, for how many minutes, between which dates. Use `date` for bookings that cover one day. |
teamdeck_get_booking | read | Get booking Get one booking by id. |
teamdeck_list_time_entries | read | List time entries List logged time (time entries): who worked on which project, minutes, dates and approval status. |
teamdeck_get_time_entry | read | Get time entry Get one time entry by id. |
teamdeck_list_vacations | read | List vacations List leave (vacations and time off) with dates and status (0 requested, 1 accepted, 2 requested to be removed). |
teamdeck_list_milestones | read | List milestones List project milestones, optionally for one project or a date range. |
teamdeck_list_organization_units | read | List organization units List organization units (departments or teams). |
teamdeck_list_project_tags | read | List project tags List project tags. |
teamdeck_create_booking | write | Create booking WRITE: plan work for a resource on a project between two dates. Needs a read + write key. Each call creates a new booking; do not repeat a call that succeeded. Set `minutes` (per day). |
teamdeck_create_time_entry | write | Create time entry WRITE: log worked time for a resource on a project. Needs a read + write key. Each call creates a new time entry; do not repeat a call that succeeded. |
teamdeck_create_project | write | Create project WRITE: create a project. Needs a read + write key. Each call creates a new project. |
teamdeck_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. | |
teamdeck_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Teamdeck 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. | |
teamdeck_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Teamdeck (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. | |
teamdeck_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Teamdeck 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 teamdeck_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 Teamdeck server only. Subscribe with teamdeck_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with teamdeck_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running teamdeck_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Teamdeck. The server calls the Teamdeck API with your own Teamdeck 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 Teamdeck 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 Teamdeck 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 Teamdeck 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 Teamdeck.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 16 Teamdeck tools can create or change data. The other 13 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 Teamdeck server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run teamdeck_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run teamdeck_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run teamdeck_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 teamdeck_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.
