Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Onfido connector that lets an assistant list and read identity verification applicants, documents, checks, reports and workflow runs, and create or…

What you can do
  • List and retrieve applicant (person) records, paginated
  • List and read uploaded identity documents, live photos and live videos (metadata only)
  • List and read verification checks and their individual reports with status and results
  • List and read Onfido Studio workflow runs, including status, output and task history
  • Create and update applicant records
  • Check monthly usage, request a missing feature, upgrade or cancel the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you work with Onfido identity verification and want an assistant to look up an applicant's checks and report outcomes, count or review applicants in the account, or create and correct applicant records without opening the dashboard.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint; no local install. Connect with the server URL only, then sign in through OAuth with your Onfido credentials on the login page. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
The login page asks for your Onfido credentials, which are validated and stored per user by the third-party host. Applicant data is PII and is sent to that host. Create and update tools write to your Onfido account and should be confirmed first. Paid plans (Pro, Pro+ via Stripe Checkout) cost money; upgrades charge the price difference immediately and cancellation gives no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Onfido 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%2Fonfido/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

Onfido MCP by usefulapi

Create and read Onfido applicants, documents, checks and reports. Hosted, no local install.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you'll paste your Onfido credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run onfido_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 onfido_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 onfido_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
