MCP support
Exposes read and write tools for Apilo to MCP clients through a hosted endpoint. Authentication uses OAuth and Apilo account credentials; write tools change account data.

Details
From the project READMEApilo MCP by usefulapi
Use your Apilo account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read orders, shipments, products and stock, and set an order status, add an internal note or change a stock quantity. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://apilo.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://apilo.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http apilo https://apilo.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": {
"apilo": {
"url": "https://apilo.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 Apilo credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/apilo/
On first connect you provide your Apilo address (<account>.apilo.com), Client ID, Client Secret and a single-use authorization code (valid 3 hours), which Apilo shows when you create an application under Administracja → Klucze API Apilo → Nowa aplikacja. The server validates it and stores only the access token per user. No keys go in config files.

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.
