Read conversations, contacts and operators, and add notes or set operators away in Userlike. For support teams that answer website chats in Userlike. 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": {
"userlike": {
"url": "https://userlike.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"userlike": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://userlike.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.
List the conversations, filtered by operator, status or update time. Then read the messages of one conversation, page by page.
userlike_list_conversations userlike_list_conversation_messages
Get one contact, then list the notes on that contact for the earlier context.
userlike_get_contact userlike_list_notes
List the operators, then read the chat slot use of one operator to see its used, total and available slots.
userlike_list_operators userlike_get_operator_slots
Add an internal note to one conversation or one contact. Operators see the note, but the contact does not.
Changes data · userlike_create_note
Set one operator to away, or back online. An away operator receives no new chats.
Changes data · userlike_set_operator_away
The login page asks for your Userlike API token.
Find it in Userlike → Dashboard → API. An organization token reaches one organization; a customer token reaches all of them. The token 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 Userlike 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.
Turn on the Userlike connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
userlike_list_conversations | read | List conversations List conversations with contacts (newest first by default). Filter by operator, status, search text or update time. GET /api/um/v3/conversations/. |
userlike_get_conversation | read | Get conversation Get one conversation by id. GET /api/um/v3/conversations/{id}/. |
userlike_list_conversation_messages | read | List conversation messages List the messages of one conversation, using cursor pagination (pass the cursor from the previous page). GET /api/um/v3/conversations/{id}/messages/. |
userlike_list_contacts | read | List contacts List contacts (contact identities) of the organization, with optional text search and ordering (for example email or -email). GET /api/um/v3/contact_identities/. |
userlike_get_contact | read | Get contact Get one contact by id. GET /api/um/v3/contact_identities/{id}/. |
userlike_update_contact | write | Update contact Update fields of one contact. Only the fields you pass change; the rest stay as they are. The contact's data is overwritten, so check the id first. PATCH /api/um/v3/contact_identities/{id}/. |
userlike_list_notes | read | List notes List internal notes, optionally only those of one conversation or one contact. GET /api/um/v3/notes/. |
userlike_get_note | read | Get note Get one note by id. GET /api/um/v3/notes/{id}/. |
userlike_create_note | write | Create note Add an internal note to one conversation or one contact. Pass exactly one of conversation_id or contact_identity_id. The note is visible to operators, not to the contact. POST /api/um/v3/notes/. |
userlike_list_operators | read | List operators List the operators (agents) of the organization. GET /api/um/v3/operators/. |
userlike_get_operator | read | Get operator Get one operator by id. GET /api/um/v3/operators/{id}/. |
userlike_get_operator_slots | read | Get operator slots Get one operator's chat slot use (free, used, total, availability). Use it to check capacity before routing work. GET /api/um/v3/operators/{id}/slots/. |
userlike_set_operator_away | write | Set operator away status Set one operator to away (true) or back online (false). An away operator receives no new chats. PATCH /api/um/v3/operators/{id}/away/. |
userlike_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. | |
userlike_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Userlike 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. | |
userlike_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Userlike (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. | |
userlike_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Userlike 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 userlike_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 Userlike server only. Subscribe with userlike_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with userlike_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running userlike_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Check open conversations for the team. Review a contact before a reply. Check operator capacity before routing chats. Add an internal note to a chat or contact. Set an operator away or back online. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Userlike. The server calls the Userlike API with your own Userlike 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 Userlike API token. 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 Userlike 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Userlike 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 Userlike.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 13 Userlike tools can create or change data. The other 10 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 Userlike server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run userlike_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run userlike_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run userlike_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 userlike_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.
