CentreCareOS MCP by usefulapi

Use your CentreCareOS account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read the students, parents, rooms, attendance, invoices and daily reports of your child care center. This server only reads data. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you enter an API key id and API secret (CentreCareOS → API Settings, Enterprise plan; give the key read scopes only). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
