usefulapiSynchroteam MCP server
Read Synchroteam jobs, customers, sites, equipment and parts; create, schedule and complete jobs. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
What can I ask?
Turn on the Synchroteam connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
- Which jobs are scheduled for tomorrow and who is doing them?
- Find customer Acme Ltd and show their sites and equipment.
- Which invoices did we issue recently and what are their totals?
- Create a new job for Acme Ltd to fix the air conditioner.
What you can do with Synchroteam in Claude and ChatGPT
For field service companies that dispatch technicians with Synchroteam.
See scheduled jobs and who does them
The AI lists jobs filtered by status, schedule window, technician, team, customer or site, and reads one job with its times, parts used and report.
Look up a customer with their sites and equipment
The AI finds a customer by name or email, then lists their sites and the pieces of equipment at those sites.
Check parts stock in depots and vans
The AI lists stock depots (warehouses and technician vans), reads the quantity of each part in one depot, and lists the parts catalog and technicians' part requests.
Review invoices and quotations
The AI lists invoices and quotations with number, status, customer, job and totals, and reads one with its lines.
Create, schedule, start or complete a job
The AI creates a job for a customer, schedules it for a technician between two times, marks it as started and completes it. Synchroteam may send notifications as set in your account.
Changes dataCreate customers, sites or equipment, or update a customer
The AI creates a customer with an address, creates a site for a customer, adds equipment under a site or customer, and updates fields of an existing customer.
Changes dataHow do I connect Synchroteam?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Synchroteam domain and Synchroteam API key.
The domain is the first part of your Synchroteam address (mycompany for mycompany.synchroteam.com). Find the key in Synchroteam under Configuration → Authentication Key. The key is account-wide and acts with administrator rights. It is used only to call the Synchroteam API on your behalf and is never shown to anyone.

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": {
"synchroteam": {
"url": "https://synchroteam.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"synchroteam": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://synchroteam.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 Synchroteam domain and Synchroteam 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 account | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per account | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Synchroteam server only. Ask your AI to run synchroteam_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 synchroteam_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 synchroteam_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Changes data · 8
- Create customer
synchroteam_create_customerWRITE: create a new customer (name and an address are required). If you pass myId and a customer with that myId already exists, nothing is created and an error is returned (use synchroteam_update_customer). - Update customer
synchroteam_update_customerWRITE: change fields of an existing customer by its numeric id. Only the fields you pass are changed; nothing is cleared. The customer id must exist (an unknown id fails). - Create site
synchroteam_create_siteWRITE: create a new site (a location of a customer). Needs a name, an address and the customer (id or myId). If myId already exists nothing is created and an error is returned. - Create equipment
synchroteam_create_equipmentWRITE: create a new piece of equipment under a site or a customer (give exactly one of site or customer; both is refused). If myId already exists nothing is created and an error is returned. - Create job
synchroteam_create_jobWRITE: create a new job for a customer (status created, not yet scheduled; use synchroteam_schedule_job to assign a technician and time). The customer is required (id, myId or exact name); site, equipment and job type are optional. If myId already exists nothing is created and an error is returned. Synchroteam may send the account's 'job created' notifications (email/SMS/webhook, possibly to the customer), as configured. - Schedule job
synchroteam_schedule_jobWRITE: schedule a job for a technician between two times (also re-schedules a scheduled or paused job). Synchroteam may notify technicians and/or customers (email/SMS/webhook) as configured in the account's notification settings (SMS uses the account's paid credits). Identify the job by exactly one of id, my_id or num. - Start job
synchroteam_start_jobWRITE: mark a job as started (status started, actual start now). If the job's technician already has another started job, Synchroteam pauses that one. Starting may trigger the account's 'job started' notifications (email/SMS/webhook to managers, technicians or the customer). Identify the job by exactly one of id, my_id or num. - Complete job
synchroteam_complete_jobWRITE: mark a job as completed, optionally with the real start and end times (give actual_start and actual_end together: Synchroteam may refuse the call with only one of them). Completing may trigger the account's 'job completed' notifications (email/SMS/webhook to managers, technicians or the customer), as configured in Synchroteam. Identify the job by exactly one of id, my_id or num.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
synchroteam_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
synchroteam_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Synchroteam 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+
synchroteam_upgradeGet a paid plan for Synchroteam (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
synchroteam_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Synchroteam 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 synchroteam_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Synchroteam in Claude or ChatGPT?
See scheduled jobs and who does them. Look up a customer with their sites and equipment. Check parts stock in depots and vans. Review invoices and quotations. Create, schedule, start or complete a job. Create customers, sites or equipment, or update a customer. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Synchroteam product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Synchroteam. The server calls the Synchroteam API with your own Synchroteam access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Synchroteam 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 Synchroteam domain and Synchroteam API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Synchroteam 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 Synchroteam domain and Synchroteam 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 Synchroteam credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Synchroteam 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 Synchroteam.
Can the AI change my Synchroteam data?
Yes, if you approve it. 8 of the 33 Synchroteam tools can create or change data. The other 25 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 Synchroteam server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run synchroteam_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run synchroteam_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 synchroteam_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Synchroteam tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with synchroteam_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.
