What you can do with Wild Apricot in Claude and ChatGPT
For membership organizations and clubs that manage members and events in Wild Apricot.
Find a member and their membership level
The AI searches contacts by name, email or phone, or by a filter like active membership status. It opens one record with fields, level and status.
See upcoming events and who registered
The AI lists events, such as upcoming ones with registration open, and the attendee list of an event with fee, paid, checked in and waitlist.
Find unpaid invoices and recent payments
The AI lists unpaid invoices, also for one contact or event, and payments received in a date range. It adds up what is still outstanding.
Review recent admin and member activity
The AI lists audit log items such as membership changes, payments and invoices in a date range, and summarizes what happened.
Add or update a member and register them for an event
The AI creates a contact or member, or updates their details and level, and registers a contact for an event under a registration type.
Changes dataCheck attendees in at an event
The AI marks an event registration as checked in, or undoes it. For anonymous guests it sets how many are checked in.
Changes dataHow do I connect Wild Apricot?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Wild Apricot API key.
Optional: Account ID.
Find the key in Wild Apricot → Settings → Integration → Authorized applications → authorize a Server application → copy its API key. The account ID is only needed if the key reaches more than one account (it is the number in your admin URLs). Your key is used only to call the Wild Apricot API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; 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": {
"wild-apricot": {
"url": "https://wild-apricot.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"wild-apricot": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://wild-apricot.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 Wild Apricot 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 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 Wild Apricot server only. Ask your AI to run wildapricot_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 wildapricot_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 wildapricot_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
wildapricot_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
wildapricot_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Wild Apricot 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+
wildapricot_upgradeGet a paid plan for Wild Apricot (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
wildapricot_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Wild Apricot 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 wildapricot_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Wild Apricot in Claude or ChatGPT?
Find a member and their membership level. See upcoming events and who registered. Find unpaid invoices and recent payments. Review recent admin and member activity. Add or update a member and register them for an event. Check attendees in at an event. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Wild Apricot product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wild Apricot. The server calls the Wild Apricot API with your own Wild Apricot access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Wild Apricot 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 Wild Apricot API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Wild Apricot 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 Wild Apricot 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 Wild Apricot credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Wild Apricot 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 Wild Apricot.
Can the AI change my Wild Apricot data?
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 21 Wild Apricot tools can create or change data. The other 17 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 Wild Apricot server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run wildapricot_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run wildapricot_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 wildapricot_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Wild Apricot tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with wildapricot_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.
