What you can do with Encharge in Claude and ChatGPT
For SaaS marketers who run email automation and track people in Encharge.
Look up a person and see their tags and segments
The AI looks up up to 20 people by email, userId or Encharge id and returns all fields, tags and segment data. You get a quick profile of each person.
List the people in a segment
The AI lists the dynamic segments with their conditions, then lists the people in one segment with paging and chosen person fields.
Check the custom fields you collect about people
The AI lists all person fields, built-in and custom, with name, title, type and whether the field is read-only. It helps before you update people.
Add or remove tags, or unsubscribe a person
The AI adds tags to a person, removes tags, or unsubscribes the person so Encharge sends no more email. The person stays in Encharge.
Changes dataCreate or update a person, or track an event
The AI creates a person or updates the one with the same email, userId or Encharge id, and can record an event such as "Registered user" for a person. Only the fields you pass are set.
Changes dataHow do I connect Encharge?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Encharge API key.
Optional: Write key (optional, for tracking events).
Find the API key and the write key in Encharge → Account → Account info. The API key needs a plan with API access. The write key is optional: only the event tracking tool uses it. Your keys are used only to call the Encharge API on your behalf; 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": {
"encharge": {
"url": "https://encharge.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"encharge": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://encharge.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 Encharge 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.
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 Encharge server only. Ask your AI to run encharge_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 encharge_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 encharge_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
encharge_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
encharge_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Encharge 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+
encharge_upgradeGet a paid plan for Encharge (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
encharge_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Encharge 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 encharge_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Encharge in Claude or ChatGPT?
Look up a person and see their tags and segments. List the people in a segment. Check the custom fields you collect about people. Add or remove tags, or unsubscribe a person. Create or update a person, or track an event. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Encharge product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Encharge. The server calls the Encharge API with your own Encharge access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Encharge 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 Encharge API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Encharge 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 Encharge 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.
How do you keep my Encharge credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Encharge 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 Encharge.
Can the AI change my Encharge data?
Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 10 Encharge tools can create or change data. The other 5 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 Encharge server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run encharge_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run encharge_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 encharge_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Encharge tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with encharge_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.
