Details

From the project README

Snipe-IT MCP by usefulapi

Use your Snipe-IT account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Find assets, users and licenses, read their status, and check assets out or in. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://snipe-it.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://snipe-it.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http snipe-it https://snipe-it.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": {
    "snipe-it": {
      "url": "https://snipe-it.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 Snipe-IT credentials.

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

On first connect you provide your Snipe-IT address (for example https://assets.example.com) and a personal API token, which you create under Manage API Keys in your account menu. 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.
