Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only access to Shop Boss auto-repair shop data — repair orders, appointments, customers, vehicles, parts and shop reference lists.

What you can do
  • Review repair orders with customer, vehicle, complaint and status context, plus their parts and pricing
  • Find customers by ID, name, email or phone, and vehicles by owner, VIN, make, model or year
  • Check appointments by date range, service bays, shop hours and customer/appointment source labels
  • Inspect parts inventory, reorder levels, part-sale balances and recommended or declined repairs
  • Look up canned jobs, suppliers, employees and complaint categories
  • Check monthly usage, request a missing feature, and manage a Pro subscription
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should answer questions about a repair shop's day-to-day records — pulling a customer's orders and vehicle history, reviewing upcoming appointments, or checking parts availability — without opening the Shop Boss interface.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; no API key or Authorization header in the client config. Sign-in uses OAuth with the user's Shop Boss credentials. A free tier allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
The server reads customer, vehicle, employee and supplier records, so access is limited by the Shop Boss account's permissions. Meta tools can start a paid subscription through a Stripe Checkout link and cancel it, with no refund for the current period. Feature requests are sent to the vendor.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Shop Boss 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%2Fshop-boss/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

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Shop Boss MCP by usefulapi

Remote MCP endpoint: https://shop-boss.usefulapi.io/mcp

Connect

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

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

Connect with your Shop Boss credentials using the hosted authorization flow.
