What you can do with Trumpia in Claude and ChatGPT
For marketers and small businesses who text and email subscribers with Trumpia.
Check text credits and scheduled messages
The AI reads the remaining domestic and international text credits, and lists the messages that are scheduled but not yet sent.
Review your lists and keywords
The AI lists distribution lists with their subscription, mobile and email counts, and the mobile keywords with their auto-response messages.
Find a contact and see which lists they are on
The AI searches subscriptions by email, mobile number or name, then opens one to read its details and list ids.
See how a message performed
The AI reads the delivery statistics of a sent message: status, totals, and sent and failed counts per channel. It can check the outcome of an earlier write request.
Add or update contacts and lists
The AI adds contacts to distribution lists, changes a contact's name, email, mobile or list membership, and creates or updates a list.
Changes dataSend a message or cancel a scheduled one
The AI sends an SMS or email to lists or contacts, now or later, or one direct SMS, or cancels a scheduled message. Sent messages cannot be recalled.
Changes dataHow do I connect Trumpia?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Trumpia username and Trumpia API key.
Both are in Trumpia under Settings → Account Settings (username) and Settings → Account Settings → API Settings (API key). The API must be enabled for your plan. Your key is used only to call the Trumpia API on your behalf; it 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": {
"trumpia": {
"url": "https://trumpia.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"trumpia": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://trumpia.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 Trumpia username and Trumpia 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 API key | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API key | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Trumpia server only. Ask your AI to run trumpia_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 trumpia_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 trumpia_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
trumpia_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
trumpia_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Trumpia 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+
trumpia_upgradeGet a paid plan for Trumpia (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
trumpia_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Trumpia 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 trumpia_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Trumpia in Claude or ChatGPT?
Check text credits and scheduled messages. Review your lists and keywords. Find a contact and see which lists they are on. See how a message performed. Add or update contacts and lists. Send a message or cancel a scheduled one. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Trumpia product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Trumpia. The server calls the Trumpia API with your own Trumpia access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Trumpia 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 Trumpia username and Trumpia API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Trumpia 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 Trumpia username and Trumpia 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 Trumpia credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Trumpia 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 Trumpia.
Can the AI change my Trumpia data?
Yes, if you approve it. 7 of the 22 Trumpia tools can create or change data. The other 15 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 Trumpia server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run trumpia_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run trumpia_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 trumpia_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Trumpia tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with trumpia_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.
