What you can do with Practice Better in Claude and ChatGPT

For practitioners and practice managers who run a practice with Practice Better.

Find open booking slots for a service

The AI reads the open booking slots of one practitioner for one service, with start, end and duration, and lists the services and practitioners to pick from.

Review the services and packages you offer

The AI lists services with name, duration, and group or 1-1 type, and the packages with name and SKU.

Check which invoices still have an amount due

The AI lists invoices with number, date, totals, amount due and payment status, and opens one for its line items and tax.

List the practitioners and admins in the practice

The AI lists practitioners and admin users with role flags and activation status, plus the practice and time zone of your account.

See which forms the practice uses

The AI lists the form templates of the practice, such as intake, questionnaire and consent forms, by name.

How do I connect Practice Better?

Before you connect

Patient data: Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.

The login page asks for your Client ID and Client secret.

Create them in Practice Better under the API Access settings. The API Access (Beta) add-on must be on your plan. Your client ID and secret are used only to sign in to the Practice Better API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone. Practice Better holds health information: only connect it if you are allowed to use an AI assistant with your client data.

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 practice-better https://practice-better.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "practice-better": {
      "url": "https://practice-better.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

codex mcp add practice-better --url https://practice-better.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login practice-better

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://practice-better.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 Client ID and Client secret. 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

Free$050 tool calls / month
Proper practice$9/mo · $90/yr10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per practice$39/mo · $390/yr100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Practice Better server only. Ask your AI to run practice_better_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 practice_better_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 practice_better_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Practice Better has no search endpoint, so this reads the 500 most recent records (5 pages of 100) and filters them; `complete` says whether every record was checked. Returns at most `max_results` matches with the same fields as practice_better_list_clients.
  • Get clientpractice_better_get_client

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)practice_better_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 featurepractice_better_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Practice Better 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+practice_better_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Practice Better (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 subscriptionpractice_better_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Practice Better 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 practice_better_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

Do I put my Practice Better 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 Client ID and Client secret. 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 Practice Better credentials?

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

Can the AI change my Practice Better data?

All 15 Practice Better tools are marked read-only.

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.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run practice_better_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 practice_better_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Practice Better tool that I need is missing?

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