What you can do with SpinupWP in Claude and ChatGPT

For WordPress site owners and agencies who host sites on servers managed with SpinupWP.

Check the health of servers and sites

The AI lists servers with connection status, disk space and reboot or upgrade flags, and sites with PHP version, HTTPS and pending WordPress updates.

Review recent activity and failed events

The AI lists recent events such as deploys, restarts and cache purges with status and who started them, and reads one event's output.

Look up domains and redirects of a site

The AI lists the additional domains of a site with their redirect settings, and its path redirects.

Purge the cache of a site

The AI purges the page cache or the Redis object cache of one site. The call returns an event id, so the AI can check when it is done.

Changes data

Deploy a site from git

The AI pulls the latest commit of a site's connected git branch and runs its deploy script. This changes the live site, and the event shows when it is done.

Changes data

Restart a service or reboot a server

The AI restarts nginx, PHP or MySQL on one server, or reboots the whole server. Visitors may notice a short break.

How do I connect SpinupWP?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your SpinupWP API token.

Create a token in SpinupWP under My Account → API Tokens (or Team Settings → API Tokens for team owners and admins) at spinupwp.app. The API needs an active SpinupWP plan. This connection cannot create or delete servers or sites. Your token is used only to call the SpinupWP 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 SpinupWP and this URL, then click Add:
https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your SpinupWP API token.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on SpinupWP.

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 SpinupWP and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your SpinupWP API token.
In Plugins, install SpinupWP, 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 spinupwp https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spinupwp": {
      "url": "https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

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

{
  "servers": {
    "spinupwp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

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

codex mcp add spinupwp --url https://spinupwp.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login spinupwp

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://spinupwp.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 SpinupWP API 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 SpinupWP server only. Ask your AI to run spinupwp_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 spinupwp_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 spinupwp_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)spinupwp_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 featurespinupwp_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the SpinupWP 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+spinupwp_upgrade
Get a paid plan for SpinupWP (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 subscriptionspinupwp_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's SpinupWP 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 spinupwp_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with SpinupWP in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check the health of servers and sites. Review recent activity and failed events. Look up domains and redirects of a site. Purge the cache of a site. Deploy a site from git. Restart a service or reboot a server. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official SpinupWP product?

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

Can I connect SpinupWP 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 SpinupWP API token. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my SpinupWP 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 SpinupWP API 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 SpinupWP credentials?

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

Can the AI change my SpinupWP data?

Yes, if you approve it. 9 of the 19 SpinupWP tools can create or change data. The other 10 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 SpinupWP server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run spinupwp_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run spinupwp_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 spinupwp_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a SpinupWP tool that I need is missing?

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