usefulapivintrace MCP server
Read vintrace vessels, batches, work orders, lab results, stock; assign work orders, add notes. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
What can I ask?
Turn on the vintrace connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
- Which tanks and barrels hold our 2026 Chardonnay and how much is in each?
- What work orders are scheduled for this week and who are they assigned to?
- Show the lab requests that are still waiting for results.
- List this vintage's fruit bookings and the intake weights received so far.
What you can do with vintrace in Claude and ChatGPT
For winemakers and cellar teams who track vessels, wine batches and work orders in vintrace.
Find which tanks and barrels hold a wine
The AI reads the vessel contents report (volume, batch, owner, winery as at a date), and lists wine batches with the vessels they sit in.
Check the work orders for this week
The AI lists work orders (transfers, additions, bottling) with status, assignee and scheduled time, and opens one for its jobs and steps.
Follow lab requests waiting for results
The AI lists analysis tasks with lab, vessel, batch and status, and reads the latest lab metrics, such as pH and Brix, of the wine in each vessel.
Track fruit bookings and intakes for a vintage
The AI lists active fruit bookings with grower, block and expected pick time, and the fruit intakes weighed in so far, for a vintage.
Check stock on hand
The AI reads quantity, committed, on order and available stock per item and location up to a date, and looks up a stock item by code.
Assign a work order or add a stock item note
The AI assigns a work order to an operator, or adds a note to a stock item that everyone in the winery can see.
Changes dataHow do I connect vintrace?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your vintrace login URL and vintrace API token.
The URL is the address you log in to vintrace with, for example https://us36.vintrace.net/yourcode/1.app (it holds your server and customer code). A vintrace admin creates the token in vintrace under API tokens (permission: Local vintrace Admin); the token acts with the permissions of the user it is created for, so a dedicated user with only the access you want shared works best. The token is used only to call the vintrace 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": {
"vintrace": {
"url": "https://vintrace.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"vintrace": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://vintrace.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 vintrace login URL and vintrace 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 vintrace server only. Ask your AI to run vintrace_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 vintrace_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 vintrace_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
vintrace_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
vintrace_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the vintrace 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+
vintrace_upgradeGet a paid plan for vintrace (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
vintrace_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's vintrace 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 vintrace_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with vintrace in Claude or ChatGPT?
Find which tanks and barrels hold a wine. Check the work orders for this week. Follow lab requests waiting for results. Track fruit bookings and intakes for a vintage. Check stock on hand. Assign a work order or add a stock item note. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official vintrace product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by vintrace. The server calls the vintrace API with your own vintrace access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect vintrace 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 vintrace login URL and vintrace API token. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my vintrace 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 vintrace login URL and vintrace 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 vintrace credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the vintrace 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 vintrace.
Can the AI change my vintrace data?
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 34 vintrace tools can create or change data. The other 31 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 vintrace server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run vintrace_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run vintrace_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 vintrace_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a vintrace tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with vintrace_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.
