Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted AbleSign MCP server that lets an assistant inspect digital signage screens, playlists, media and play-of-proof reports, and add media to a screen…

What you can do
  • List workspaces and their users, and list screens with orientation, online state, groups and tags, or fetch one screen's details.
  • Read a screen's playlist in order, and list screen groups with their members.
  • Browse media folders, media files and web apps, with sizes, durations, validity dates and tags.
  • Report proof of play: raw records for a period, plays summarized per asset, and one asset's plays per screen.
  • Write operations: create or rename a media folder, and add up to 50 media files or web apps to a screen's playlist.
  • Check monthly usage, request a missing feature, upgrade or cancel a subscription.
When to use it
Useful when you run AbleSign digital signage and want to ask in chat which screens are offline, what played most last month and on which screens, or to push a new promo item onto a screen's playlist without opening the CMS.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is by OAuth, and on first connect you supply your AbleSign API key (from the AbleSign CMS under Account > API Keys) and optionally a workspace id; the server stores them per user. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
Write tools change live signage: adding playlist items plays on the screen immediately, and folders can be created or renamed; confirm before running them. The AbleSign API key is a credential stored server-side by the provider. Paid plans cost money (Pro $9/month or $90/year, Pro+ $39/month or $390/year) and are billed through a Stripe checkout link; cancellation runs to the end of the paid period with no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AbleSign MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fablesign/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

AbleSign MCP by usefulapi

Use your AbleSign account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read screens, playlists, media and proof of play, and add items to a screen playlist. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you provide your AbleSign API key (AbleSign CMS, Account > API Keys) and, optionally, a workspace id (leave it empty for the default workspace). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.
