ArborNote MCP by usefulapi

ArborNote MCP by usefulapi

Use your ArborNote account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Reads clients, projects, proposals, work orders and crew hours, and adds clients and projects or updates proposals. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://arbornote.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://arbornote.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http arbornote https://arbornote.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arbornote": {
      "url": "https://arbornote.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 ArborNote credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/arbornote/

On first connect you provide your ArborNote API key (ArborNote → Settings → API Access → Show Token). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
