What you can do with Booqable in Claude and ChatGPT
For rental businesses that take bookings and manage orders in Booqable.
Review rental orders by status or rental period
The AI lists orders filtered by search text, status, payment status, customer or rental period, and reads one order with its customer and lines.
Check if a product is available for a date
The AI checks how many units can be booked for an exact period at a location, or reads a product's day-by-day availability calendar for a month.
Look up, add or update a customer
The AI searches customers by name, email or tag and reads order count, revenue and balance due. It can create a customer or change one.
Changes dataCreate a rental order or change an existing one
The AI creates an order for a rental period, books products on it and reserves it. It can also change the period, customer or locations of an order.
Changes dataCheck invoices, quotes and payments
The AI lists invoices, quotes and contracts with totals and payment status, and payments for an order or customer.
Read or add internal notes on a record
The AI lists internal notes on a customer, order or product, and attaches a new note to one of them.
Changes dataHow do I connect Booqable?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Company slug and Access Token.
The company slug is the subdomain of your Booqable URL: acme for acme.booqable.com. Create an Access Token in Booqable → Settings → User settings → Authentication methods (or open https://<slug>.booqable.com/employees/current). No API access? It is included only in the Grow and Scale plans. Your credentials are used only to call the Booqable API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; they are never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"booqable": {
"url": "https://booqable.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"booqable": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://booqable.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
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 Company slug and Access 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.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Booqable server only. Ask your AI to run booqable_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with booqable_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with booqable_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Changes data · 7
- Create a customer
booqable_create_customerCreate a new customer. - Update a customer
booqable_update_customerUpdate a customer's name, email, legal type, tags, default discount or marketing consent. Only the fields you pass change. - Create an order
booqable_create_orderCreate an EMPTY order for a rental period (status new or draft). Then add products with booqable_book_product and reserve it with booqable_transition_order_status. Locations default to the first active location. - Update an order
booqable_update_orderChange an order's rental period, customer, locations or tags. Moving dates can cause a shortage: the call then fails with the shortage details, and a shortage *warning* can be accepted by retrying with confirm_shortage: true. - Book a product on an order
booqable_book_productAdd a quantity of a product to an order, allocating inventory (creates a planning and a line). By default adds to an existing planning for the same product if there is one. Booqable: POST /api/4/order_fulfillments with a book_product action. - Change an order's status
booqable_transition_order_statusMove an order between statuses: new→draft, draft→reserved (reserves the items and assigns an order number), stopped→archived, or back to an earlier status with revert: true. Canceling is deliberately NOT offered (Booqable cannot un-cancel). started/stopped are reached by picking up/returning items, so they are only valid here with revert: true. - Add a note
booqable_create_noteAttach an internal note to a customer, order, product or other record.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
booqable_usage_statusReport 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. - Request a missing feature
booqable_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Booqable 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. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
booqable_upgradeGet a paid plan for Booqable (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
booqable_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Booqable 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 booqable_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Booqable in Claude or ChatGPT?
Review rental orders by status or rental period. Check if a product is available for a date. Look up, add or update a customer. Create a rental order or change an existing one. Check invoices, quotes and payments. Read or add internal notes on a record. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Booqable product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Booqable. The server calls the Booqable API with your own Booqable access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Booqable to Claude or ChatGPT?
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.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Company slug and Access Token. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Booqable key or an Authorization header in the client config?
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 Company slug and Access 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.
How do you keep my Booqable credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Booqable 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 Booqable.
Can the AI change my Booqable data?
Yes, if you approve it. 7 of the 21 Booqable tools can create or change data. The other 14 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Booqable server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run booqable_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run booqable_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run booqable_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Booqable tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with booqable_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.
Which AI clients can I use?
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.
