MCP support
Exposes DicksonOne alert, location, and data logger information to MCP clients, along with a tool to acknowledge alerts. It is hosted at a remote MCP endpoint and uses OAuth sign-in to collect DicksonOne credentials.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEDicksonOne MCP by usefulapi
Use your DicksonOne account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. List alerts and data loggers, read alert comments, and acknowledge alerts. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://dicksonone.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://dicksonone.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http dicksonone https://dicksonone.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": {
"dicksonone": {
"url": "https://dicksonone.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 DicksonOne credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/dicksonone/
On first connect you provide a DicksonOne API key (DicksonOne → Manage → API Keys). The server validates it and stores it 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.
