Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEOperto MCP by usefulapi
Use your Operto account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read properties, reservations, smart locks and thermostats. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://operto.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://operto.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http operto https://operto.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": {
"operto": {
"url": "https://operto.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 Operto credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/operto/
On first connect you provide your Operto API key and API secret. Operto issues them to your organization: ask your Client Success contact if you have none. 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.
