Details

From the project README

Quickbase MCP by usefulapi

Use your Quickbase account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Query records, run reports and formulas, and insert or update records. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://quickbase.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://quickbase.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http quickbase https://quickbase.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quickbase": {
      "url": "https://quickbase.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 Quickbase credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/quickbase/

On first connect you provide your Quickbase realm (the part before .quickbase.com) and a Quickbase user token, which you create in your Quickbase user settings. The server validates them and stores them 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.
