Look up people, groups, service rosters, songs, follow-up flows and giving in Elvanto.
The publisher's own server: Ably MCP by usefulapi
Hosted Elvanto connector that lets an assistant look up church people, groups, service rosters, songs, follow-up flows and giving, and make limited edits.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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%2Felvanto/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Use Elvanto from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up people, groups, service rosters, songs, follow-up flows and giving records. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Elvanto credentials.
Live endpoint: https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/elvanto
https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http elvanto https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.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 Elvanto credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/elvanto/
On first connect you'll provide your Elvanto API key (Settings → Account Settings → API, administrators only). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
read tools are read-only; write tools mutate data (clients should confirm them); meta tools report usage, manage your subscription or send a feature request.
Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run elvanto_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with elvanto_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with elvanto_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
