What you can do with Spruce Health in Claude and ChatGPT

For practice administrators of clinics that run their messaging and phone lines on Spruce Health.

List the staff and teams of the organization

The AI lists the organization's members with name, email, admin and suspended flags, and the members of one team. It shows who has access.

Review phone lines and channels

The AI lists the phone lines and the organization's own channels: Spruce phone and fax numbers, email addresses and Links, with owner and members.

Check the saved message templates

The AI lists saved message templates, private and organization-wide, with title, text and shared flags. You can find old or duplicate templates.

Review the tags and contact fields in use

The AI lists contact tags, conversation tags and the organization-wide contact fields. You see how the account is set up.

Confirm which organization is connected

The AI reads the organization's id and name, so you can check that the right account is linked.

How do I connect Spruce Health?

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 Spruce API token.

An organization admin creates the token in the Spruce web app → Settings → API Access. API access needs the Communicator plan and must first be enabled by Spruce Support. Your token is used only to call the Spruce API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Spruce Health and this URL, then click Add:
    https://spruce-health.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Spruce API token.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Spruce Health.

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

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Spruce Health and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://spruce-health.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Spruce API token.
  4. In Plugins, install Spruce Health, 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 spruce-health https://spruce-health.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spruce-health": {
      "url": "https://spruce-health.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

codex mcp add spruce-health --url https://spruce-health.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login spruce-health

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://spruce-health.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 Spruce 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

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

Each paid plan covers this Spruce Health server only. Ask your AI to run sprucehealth_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 sprucehealth_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 sprucehealth_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)sprucehealth_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 featuresprucehealth_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Spruce Health 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+sprucehealth_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Spruce Health (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 subscriptionsprucehealth_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Spruce Health 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 sprucehealth_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Spruce Health in Claude or ChatGPT?

List the staff and teams of the organization. Review phone lines and channels. Check the saved message templates. Review the tags and contact fields in use. Confirm which organization is connected. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Spruce Health product?

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

Can I use this server with patient data (PHI)?

No. Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.

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

Do I put my Spruce Health 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 Spruce 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 Spruce Health credentials?

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

Can the AI change my Spruce Health data?

All 24 Spruce Health 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. Each subscription covers this Spruce Health server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run sprucehealth_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run sprucehealth_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 sprucehealth_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Spruce Health tool that I need is missing?

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