Read assets, work orders and service requests; add and change assets and work orders in TreePlotter. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the TreePlotter connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For city, parks and urban forestry teams that manage tree and asset inventories in TreePlotter.
List the inventory layers of the folder, then read the features of one layer with lookup values in readable text.
Read the field metadata of an inventory layer, then read one feature by its Primary ID to see its current values.
List the work orders (jobs) of the folder and open one to read its details. Read the work order fields first.
List the service requests of the folder, then open one by its ID to read the request.
Read the field names of the layer, then create the feature. Point layers need lat and lng in the data.
Changes dataRead the work order field names, then create a work order or change its fields, for example its status.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your TreePlotter region, INVENTORY folder, TreePlotter login, TreePlotter password and TreePlotter API key.
Ask PlanIT Geo support for an API key and a login for the API. The folder is the lowercase name in your INVENTORY app address, for example pg-cloud.com/tpdemo gives tpdemo. Your login and key are stored encrypted and are used only to call the TreePlotter API on your behalf.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"treeplotter": {
"url": "https://treeplotter.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"treeplotter": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://treeplotter.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
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.
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 TreePlotter region, INVENTORY folder, TreePlotter login, TreePlotter password and TreePlotter 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.

Pro covers this TreePlotter server only. Subscribe with treeplotter_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with treeplotter_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running treeplotter_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by TreePlotter. The server calls the TreePlotter API with your own TreePlotter 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 TreePlotter region, INVENTORY folder, TreePlotter login, TreePlotter password and TreePlotter 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 TreePlotter region, INVENTORY folder, TreePlotter login, TreePlotter password and TreePlotter 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 TreePlotter 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 TreePlotter.
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 17 TreePlotter 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 TreePlotter server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run treeplotter_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run treeplotter_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run treeplotter_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 treeplotter_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.
