Details

From the project README

Buildium MCP by usefulapi

Use Buildium from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read rental properties, units, owners, leases, tenants, balances, vendors and bills, and create or update work orders and tasks. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Buildium credentials.

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

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://buildium.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http buildium https://buildium.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": {
    "buildium": {
      "url": "https://buildium.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 Buildium credentials.

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

On first connect you'll provide your Buildium client ID and client secret (Settings → Developer Tools; Premium plan). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys 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.
