Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read Device Magic forms, submissions, devices and groups; send and revoke dispatches.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 17 things (tools) devicemagic_list_forms, devicemagic_get_form, devicemagic_list_submissions, devicemagic_list_devices …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http device-magic https://device-magic.usefulapi.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "device-magic": {
      "url": "https://device-magic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "device-magic": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://device-magic.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://device-magic.usefulapi.io/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • devicemagic_list_forms

    List the organization's forms: id, namespace (the form's unique id used for dispatching), version, description and group. GET /organizations/{org}/forms.json.

  • devicemagic_get_form

    One form's definition: title and its questions/pages with identifiers and types (the identifiers are the keys inside submissions and dispatch payloads). Optionally a specific version. GET /organizations/{org}/forms/{id}.json.

  • devicemagic_list_submissions

    Submitted data of one form, newest data as stored in the form's Device Magic Database destination (it must be active on that form). Each record has form info, metadata (device, user, submitted_at, received_at, submission_id) and the answers. The reply says current_page, total_pag

  • devicemagic_list_devices

    List the organization's devices (phones, tablets, web-form users): id, identifier, owner, description, group and whether approval is pending. GET /organizations/{org}/devices.json.

  • devicemagic_get_device

    One device: id, identifier, owner, description, pending_approval, groups and custom attributes. GET /organizations/{org}/devices/{id}.json.

  • devicemagic_list_groups

    List the organization's groups (which devices see which forms), optionally narrowed by a name filter or by tags. GET /api/v2/organizations/{org}/groups.json.

  • devicemagic_list_resources

    List the organization's resources (lookup tables and files used by forms): id, original filename, version, description. GET /api/resources.json.

  • devicemagic_describe_resource

    Metadata of one resource: status, version and, for spreadsheets, its tables and columns. The file content itself is not downloaded. GET /api/resources/{id}/describe.json.

  • devicemagic_list_destinations

    List where one form's submissions are sent (e-mail, Dropbox, database, ...): id, active flag, format and transport types, timestamps. GET /api/forms/{id}/destinations.json.

  • devicemagic_get_destination

    One destination of a form. Credentials and tokens of the destination are never returned. GET /api/forms/{form_id}/destinations/{id}.json.

  • devicemagic_list_dispatches

    Outstanding dispatches (prefilled forms pushed to devices and not yet completed) of the whole organization: id, form name and namespace, device, scheduled time. Dispatch is an Enterprise-plan feature. GET /api/v2/organizations/{org}/dispatches.json.

  • devicemagic_list_device_dispatches

    Outstanding dispatches of one device. GET /api/v2/devices/{identifier}/dispatches.json.

  • devicemagic_get_dispatch

    One dispatch of a device including the values it was prefilled with. GET /api/v3/devices/{identifier}/dispatches/{id}.json?include_inputs=true.

  • devicemagic_list_dispatch_recipients

    Devices and web-forms users a dispatch can be sent to (first 100 by default; use items and page for more). GET /api/v3/dispatch_authors.json.

  • devicemagic_send_dispatch

    WRITE: pushes a form, optionally prefilled, to one device where its user will see it (like assigning a job). Not idempotent: calling it twice sends two dispatches. Needs the Enterprise plan. The form is named by its namespace (list_forms); `payload` maps question identifiers (get

  • devicemagic_revoke_dispatch

    WRITE: withdraws one outstanding dispatch from a device (the form disappears from the device). It cannot be undone, but the dispatch can be sent again. DELETE /api/v2/devices/{identifier}/dispatches/{id}.json.

  • devicemagic_approve_device

    WRITE: approves a device that is waiting for approval (pending_approval is true) so it can receive forms. Approving an approved device has no effect. POST /organizations/{org}/devices/{id}/approve.

Common questions

Is Device Magic MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.14.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Dechonet MCP

Device Magic MCP by usefulapi

Read Device Magic forms, submissions, devices and groups; send and revoke dispatches.

Live endpoint: https://device-magic.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/device-magic

Connect

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

"mcpServers": { "device-magic": { "url": "https://device-magic.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 Device Magic credentials.

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

On first connect you'll paste your Device Magic API access token (Account Settings → API Access) and your organization id (the number in your dashboard URL, app.devicemagic.com/organizations/12345/...).
