Details
From the project READMEGift Up! MCP by usefulapi
Use Gift Up! from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — gift cards, orders, items, locations, promotions and transaction reports, read-only. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Gift Up! credentials.
Live endpoint: https://gift-up.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/gift-up
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://gift-up.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http gift-up https://gift-up.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": {
"gift-up": {
"url": "https://gift-up.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 Gift Up! credentials.

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.
