MCP support
The hosted server exposes A-Cube invoice and business-record tools to MCP clients over a remote MCP URL, with OAuth sign-in. Write actions can return a preview pending explicit confirmation.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://acube.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http acube https://acube.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"acube": {
"url": "https://acube.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, and the login page asks for your A-Cube credentials.

Account access and data
Use your licensed A-Cube API account and select sandbox or production. Your production Italy API contract must permit this hosted connection. Customer onboarding, vendor subscriptions and fiscal processing charges remain separate. No vendor app approval or endorsement is claimed.
Your password is sent only for this sign-in and is not stored in the hosted connection. Only the vendor JWT, email, environment, expiry and billing identity are retained encrypted. Vendor tokens last up to24hours; reconnect on expiry or revocation. There is no silent password login or invented refresh endpoint. Disconnect UsefulAPI to stop this connection; an issued JWT may remain valid until A-Cube expires or revokes it. Billing follows the validated account UID, normally across password changes and environments.
Requested fiscal invoices, tax identifiers, receipts and business records reach your connected AI client and LLM provider. Connect only data you are authorized to process there.
Draft creation saves a draft without transmission. Submission and deletion require explicit confirmation; without it, the tools return a preview. Production submission is a legal act and may incur charges. A-Cube's acknowledgement means accepted for transmission, not confirmed SDI delivery: check invoice notifications. After an uncertain result, check A-Cube before repeating. No operation is automatically replayed.
All24tools were checked against current API specifications and local mocks. Synthetic invoice test data matches required fields/types but is not a legally validated invoice. No real customer data, SDI submissions, receipts or charges were tested.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
