Details
From the project READMEKickserv MCP by usefulapi
Use Kickserv from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up customers, jobs, notes and time entries, and create or update customers, jobs, tasks, notes, time and charges. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Kickserv credentials.
Live endpoint: https://kickserv.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/kickserv
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://kickserv.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http kickserv https://kickserv.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": {
"kickserv": {
"url": "https://kickserv.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 Kickserv credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/kickserv/
On first connect you'll provide your Kickserv account slug (from app.kickserv.com/) and employee API token (My Account > API token). 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.
