Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server for DicksonOne that lets an assistant list monitoring alerts and data loggers, count active alerts, and acknowledge alerts.

What you can do
  • Check the connected DicksonOne account and user behind the API key
  • List alerts with severity, type, excursion and return-to-normal times, filterable by logger, location, severity, type, active state or time window
  • Count active and cleared alerts and break them down by severity
  • Read the comments users added to a single alert
  • List locations and data loggers, including archived or replaced loggers, to get the ids and tokens used for filtering
  • Acknowledge an alert, recorded against the token's user and server time
When to use it
Useful when you want to ask about temperature or other environmental excursions in DicksonOne from a chat client: which alerts are still active, which sites or fridges they belong to, what people commented, and closing out an alert after review.
Requirements
A remote endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and the login page asks for a DicksonOne API key (created in DicksonOne under Manage, then API Keys), which the server validates and stores per user. Only the URL goes in the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are available.
Before you install
Acknowledging an alert writes to DicksonOne and is attributed to the token's user, so confirm before running it; already-acknowledged alerts return an error. Your DicksonOne API key is entered on the hosted login page and stored by the provider, so trust in that third party matters. Usage is metered, and upgrade tools return Stripe Checkout links for paid plans that charge money; cancellation has no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open DicksonOne 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%2Fdicksonone/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

README

DicksonOne MCP by usefulapi

Use your DicksonOne account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. List alerts and data loggers, read alert comments, and acknowledge alerts. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you provide a DicksonOne API key (DicksonOne → Manage → API Keys). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

Parametersidsnamepage_sizepage_number

dicksonone_list_devices

List data loggers
