Overview

AI-generated overview

Connect an assistant to a Snipe-IT instance to look up assets, users and software licenses, and to check hardware out or in.

What you can do
  • Look up assets by id, asset tag or serial number, and list them filtered by model, category, location, company, status or assignee
  • List users, get one user's details, and see the assets checked out to them
  • List software licenses, license seats and seat holders, plus asset models, categories, locations and status labels
  • Read the activity log of who checked out, edited or deleted what, and list assets with overdue audits
  • Check an asset out to a user, another asset or a location, or check it back in with a status label
  • Report usage, request a missing feature, and upgrade or cancel the paid plan
When to use it
Useful when you want to ask questions about IT inventory in plain language — who holds which laptop, what a serial number belongs to, which licenses are running out of seats — or to record checkouts and check-ins without opening Snipe-IT.
Requirements
A remote endpoint reached over HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is by OAuth, and on first connect you supply your Snipe-IT address and a personal API token created under Manage API Keys. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config.
Before you install
The checkout and checkin tools change who holds an asset and its status label, so confirm before running them. Your Snipe-IT address and personal API token are stored per user by the hosting provider. Usage is metered: the free plan allows 50 tool calls a month, and paid plans are billed through a Stripe checkout link, with no refund for the current period on cancellation.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Snipe-IT 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%2Fsnipe-it/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

Snipe-IT MCP by usefulapi

Use your Snipe-IT account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Find assets, users and licenses, read their status, and check assets out or in. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://snipe-it.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

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

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

On first connect you provide your Snipe-IT address (for example https://assets.example.com) and a personal API token, which you create under Manage API Keys in your account menu. The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.
