Details
From the project READMEPaydirt MCP by usefulapi
Use your Paydirt account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read, create and update clients, projects and jobs, and log time. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://paydirt.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://paydirt.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http paydirt https://paydirt.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": {
"paydirt": {
"url": "https://paydirt.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 Paydirt credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/paydirt/
On first connect you provide a Paydirt API key, which you find under Password Settings. Your Paydirt user needs full permissions (Team Settings). 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.
