MCP support
Exposes Prodigi read-only tools to MCP clients through a hosted remote server. Clients connect by URL and authenticate through OAuth.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Connect at https://prodigi.usefulapi.io/mcp.
Read print orders, production status and shipment tracking; inspect product details and calculate quotes without placing orders.
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://prodigi.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http prodigi https://prodigi.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": {
"prodigi": {
"url": "https://prodigi.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 Prodigi credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/prodigi/
Choose sandbox or live and use the matching Prodigi Print API v4 key from your dashboard. The connector exposes only read-only operations, including price and spine-width calculations. The key itself can also place paid orders through the vendor API. Usage and subscriptions are scoped to the environment and API key; key rotation creates a new identity.
