What you can do with Pobuca Connect in Claude and ChatGPT

For sales and customer teams who keep contacts and companies in Pobuca Connect.

Find a contact with their company and phones

The AI looks up a contact and reads phone numbers, emails, addresses, team, tags and custom fields, then opens the contact's organization.

Find contacts changed in the last days

The AI lists contacts with a filter on the update time, newest first, so you see who was added or edited lately.

List companies of an industry and their main contacts

The AI lists organizations filtered by industry or type, and opens each for its addresses and primary contact.

Add a contact or a company

The AI searches first to avoid a duplicate, then creates a new contact or organization with the details you give.

How do I connect Pobuca Connect?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Pobuca Connect API key.

Create it in Pobuca Connect → Settings → Data Management → API Keys → Manage → Create API Key (API keys are an Enterprise-plan feature). The key acts as the coworker it impersonates; a dedicated coworker makes its activity easy to track. Your key is used only to call the Pobuca Connect API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
Enter the name Pobuca Connect and this URL, then click Add:
https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your Pobuca Connect API key.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Pobuca Connect.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Pobuca Connect and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Pobuca Connect API key.
In Plugins, install Pobuca Connect, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http pobuca-connect https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pobuca-connect": {
      "url": "https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "pobuca-connect": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add pobuca-connect --url https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login pobuca-connect

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.

https://pobuca-connect.usefulapi.io/mcp

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 Pobuca Connect 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 Pobuca Connect server only. Ask your AI to run pobuca_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 pobuca_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 pobuca_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Create contactpobuca_create_contact
WRITE: create a new contact in the Pobuca Connect address book. Needs at least a first name, last name or email. Not idempotent: calling it twice creates two contacts, so search with pobuca_list_contacts first.
Update contactpobuca_update_contact
WRITE: change fields of an existing contact; only the fields you pass are sent. Overwrites the previous values (tags and customFields are replaced as given). Look the contact up first and confirm the right one.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)pobuca_usage_status
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.
Request a missing featurepobuca_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Pobuca Connect 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+pobuca_upgrade
Get a paid plan for Pobuca Connect (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 subscriptionpobuca_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's Pobuca Connect 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 pobuca_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Pobuca Connect in Claude or ChatGPT?

Find a contact with their company and phones. Find contacts changed in the last days. List companies of an industry and their main contacts. Add a contact or a company. Update a contact or a company. Check teams, members and custom fields. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Pobuca Connect product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pobuca Connect. The server calls the Pobuca Connect API with your own Pobuca Connect access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Pobuca Connect 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 Pobuca Connect API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Pobuca Connect 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 Pobuca Connect 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 Pobuca Connect credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Pobuca Connect 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 Pobuca Connect.

Can the AI change my Pobuca Connect data?

Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 17 Pobuca Connect 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.

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 Pobuca Connect server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run pobuca_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run pobuca_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 pobuca_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Pobuca Connect tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with pobuca_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.
