Details
From the project READMEQuaderno MCP by usefulapi
Calculate tax rates and read or create your invoices, contacts and transactions from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your Quaderno API key.
Live endpoint: https://quaderno.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/quaderno
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://quaderno.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http quaderno https://quaderno.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": {
"quaderno": {
"url": "https://quaderno.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 Quaderno 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.
