Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted ArborNote connector that lets an assistant read clients, projects, proposals, work orders and crew hours, and create clients and projects or update…

What you can do
  • List and get clients, with name, address and contact details
  • Create new client records and new projects (job sites) tied to a client
  • List and get projects, and list a project's tagged trees with species, dimensions, health and work objectives
  • List and get proposals, including line items, totals and approve links
  • Set a proposal's job number, status or tax rate
  • List GTC and PHC work orders, crew hours and estimator appointments by date range
When to use it
Useful for tree-care or landscaping businesses already on ArborNote that want an assistant to answer questions about estimates, scheduled work and crew time, or to draft new clients and job sites without opening the app.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint; no local install. Sign-in is by OAuth, and on first connect you supply your ArborNote API key (from ArborNote Settings, API Access). No keys go in the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are available.
Before you install
Several tools write to the live ArborNote account: creating clients and projects, and changing a proposal's job number, status or tax rate. The server asks that these be confirmed first. Your ArborNote API key is stored per user by the hosted service. Paid plans are billed through a checkout link, and cancelling does not refund the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ArborNote 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%2Farbornote/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

ArborNote MCP by usefulapi

Use your ArborNote account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Reads clients, projects, proposals, work orders and crew hours, and adds clients and projects or updates proposals. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you provide your ArborNote API key (ArborNote → Settings → API Access → Show Token). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
