Details
From the project READMECareLineLive MCP by usefulapi
Use your CareLineLive account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read carers, clients, users, teams, visit rounds, leave, incidents, public holidays and work patterns, and update a carer's payroll and cost centre codes. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://carelinelive.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://carelinelive.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http carelinelive https://carelinelive.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": {
"carelinelive": {
"url": "https://carelinelive.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 CareLineLive credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/carelinelive/
On first connect you provide your Environment address (the part before .carelinelive.app in your web address) and a Personal access token (Accounts → API tokens; the API must be enabled for your environment). The server validates them and stores them 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.
