MCP support
Provides an MCP endpoint clients connect to by URL, with OAuth sign-in and a choice of production or sandbox environment. It exposes read tools for quotes and delivery information, plus write tools for creating and managing jobs.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Quote, validate, book and track Stuart courier deliveries; cancel jobs and check zone coverage.
Live endpoint: https://stuart.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/stuart
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://stuart.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http stuart https://stuart.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": {
"stuart": {
"url": "https://stuart.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 Stuart credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/stuart/
On first connect you'll pick the environment (production or sandbox) and paste your Stuart API client ID and API client secret (Stuart admin → API credentials: https://admin.stuart.com for production, https://admin.sandbox.stuart.com for the sandbox; the two environments have separate credentials). Creating a job on production books a real, charged courier: use the sandbox to try things out.

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.
