Read people, companies, opportunities, notes and tasks; create and update records in Twenty CRM. For sales and operations teams who manage contacts, companies and deals in Twenty CRM. 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:
{

}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.
The AI lists opportunities with a filter and order you ask for, and reads one in full. It can sum them up by amount.
twenty_list_opportunities twenty_get_opportunity
The AI finds a company and reads it together with its people, opportunities and notes. You get one overview before a meeting.
twenty_list_companies twenty_get_company twenty_list_people twenty_list_notes
The AI lists tasks and reads one task in full. You see what is still open and what is due first.
twenty_list_tasks twenty_get_task
The AI creates a person or a company from the details you give, or changes fields of an existing one. Only the fields you give are changed.
Changes data · twenty_create_person twenty_update_person twenty_create_company twenty_update_company
The AI creates a deal with a name and an amount in a currency, or changes fields of an existing opportunity.
Changes data · twenty_create_opportunity twenty_update_opportunity
The AI creates a note with a title and body, or a task with a title, or changes an existing task.

The login page asks for your Twenty API key.
Create one in Twenty → Settings → APIs & Webhooks. Your API key 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 Twenty 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 Twenty connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.

twenty_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. | |
twenty_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Twenty 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. | |
twenty_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Twenty (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. | |
twenty_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Twenty 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 twenty_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 |
| Pro | $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 Twenty server only. Subscribe with twenty_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with twenty_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running twenty_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 Twenty. The server calls the Twenty API with your own Twenty 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 Twenty 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 Twenty 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 Twenty 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 Twenty.
Yes, if you approve it. 9 of the 20 Twenty tools can create or change data. The other 11 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 Twenty server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run twenty_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run twenty_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run twenty_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 twenty_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.
