Changes dataHow do I connect Safefood 360?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your API subscription key, Safefood 360 site id, Safefood 360 user email and Safefood 360 user password.
Safefood 360 (Ideagen Food & Beverage) gives its API to customers through developers.safefood360.com: sign up there, subscribe to a product (access is approved by Safefood 360) and copy the primary key from your profile. The API signs in with a user's email and password plus the site id, so create a dedicated user for this connection with only the permissions you want to give. The password cannot contain a colon. Everything is stored encrypted and used only to call the Safefood 360 API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone. The Trial product allows 5 calls per minute and 100 per week; each question uses two or more calls.

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": {
"safefood-360": {
"url": "https://safefood-360.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"safefood-360": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://safefood-360.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 API subscription key, Safefood 360 site id, Safefood 360 user email and Safefood 360 user password. 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 Safefood 360 server only. Ask your AI to run safefood360_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 safefood360_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 safefood360_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
safefood360_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
safefood360_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Safefood 360 (Ideagen Food & Beverage) 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+
safefood360_upgradeGet a paid plan for Safefood 360 (Ideagen Food & Beverage) (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
safefood360_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Safefood 360 (Ideagen Food & Beverage) 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 safefood360_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Safefood 360 in Claude or ChatGPT?
Find document reviews that are due or overdue. Review customer complaints. Check suppliers by approval status and risk. Review materials and a known finished product. Record a new customer complaint. Update a document or a customer record. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Safefood 360 product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Safefood 360. The server calls the Safefood 360 API with your own Safefood 360 access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Safefood 360 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 API subscription key, Safefood 360 site id, Safefood 360 user email and Safefood 360 user password. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Safefood 360 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 API subscription key, Safefood 360 site id, Safefood 360 user email and Safefood 360 user password. 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 Safefood 360 credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Safefood 360 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 Safefood 360.
Can the AI change my Safefood 360 data?
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 17 Safefood 360 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 Safefood 360 server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run safefood360_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run safefood360_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 safefood360_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Safefood 360 tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with safefood360_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.
