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.
upkeep_get_accountConfirm the UpKeep API token is active: returns the company id, the token's name, when it was created and when it was last used. GET /api/v1/organization-api-tokens/introspect.
upkeep_list_work_ordersList work orders (reactive and preventive), newest first, with status, priority, due date, asset, location, assignee, parts, time and cost. Filter by status, completion, priority, category, asset, location, assignee, title or date ranges. GET /work-orders.
upkeep_get_work_orderOne work order by id with its checklist items, custom fields, time log, parts and files. GET /work-orders/{id}.
upkeep_list_assetsList assets (equipment) with name, model, serial and barcode, location, status, downtime status, warranty and number of open work orders. Filter by name, serial number, barcode, location, status, category or assignee. GET /assets.
upkeep_get_assetOne asset by id with purchase and warranty details, custom fields and (optionally) assigned users, teams, vendors, parts, files and sub-assets. GET /assets/{id}.
upkeep_list_locationsList locations (sites, buildings, rooms) with address, barcode, parent location and hierarchy level. GET /locations.
upkeep_get_locationOne location by id. GET /locations/{id}.
upkeep_list_partsList spare parts with quantity on hand, minimum quantity, cost, category, location and part number. Compare quantity with minimumQuantity to find parts to reorder. GET /parts.
upkeep_get_partOne part by id with quantity, cost, location and custom fields. GET /parts/{id}.
upkeep_list_metersList meters (usage counters such as hours, mileage, temperature) with units, reading frequency and the asset or location they belong to. GET /meters.
upkeep_get_meterOne meter by id. GET /meters/{id}.
upkeep_list_meter_readingsReadings recorded for one meter (value, date, who recorded it), newest first. GET /meters/{id}/readings.
upkeep_add_meter_readingWRITE: record a new reading on a meter (for example engine hours or mileage). A reading cannot be removed with this server, and a meter notification can create a work order automatically when its condition is met. POST /meters/{id}/readings.
upkeep_list_requestsList work requests submitted by staff or through the request portal (before they become work orders), with status open/approved/rejected. GET /requests.
upkeep_get_requestOne work request by id with its form fields and, once approved, the linked work order id. GET /requests/{id}.
upkeep_create_requestWRITE: submit a new work request for the maintenance team to approve (it appears in UpKeep's Requests list and may notify the approvers or the assignee). It is not a work order until approved. If the account has a request form configured, pass its field labels in `fields`. POST /
upkeep_approve_requestWRITE: approve a pending work request, which converts it into a work order (it may notify the assignee). Needs a token whose role may approve requests. Approving a request that is already approved or declined fails with HTTP 409. POST /requests/{id}/approve.
upkeep_create_work_orderWRITE: create a new work order (it may notify the assignee and appears in UpKeep's work order board). Ids for asset, location and assignee come from the list tools. POST /work-orders.
upkeep_update_work_orderWRITE: change fields of an existing work order: status (open, onHold, inProgress, complete), title, description, priority, due date or assignee. Only the fields you pass change; completing a work order may trigger the account's integrations (for example Zapier). Archiving and del
upkeep_add_work_order_messageWRITE: post a message (comment) on a work order's activity thread; people following the work order may be notified. POST /work-orders/{id}/update-messages.
upkeep_update_part_quantityWRITE: set the quantity on hand (and optionally the minimum quantity that triggers a low-stock notification) of a part. This overwrites the stored number: read the part first and pass the new total, not the difference. PATCH /parts/{id}.
upkeep_list_usersList UpKeep users (technicians, admins, requesters) with account type, job title, status and last login. Use the ids to assign work orders. GET /users.
upkeep_get_userOne user by id. GET /users/{id}.
upkeep_list_teamsList teams with name and description. Use the ids to assign work. GET /teams.
upkeep_list_vendorsList vendors (suppliers and contractors) with contact details. GET /vendors.

upkeep_list_purchase_ordersList purchase orders with status (awaiting, approved, declined, fulfilled), vendor, dates, total cost and quantities. GET /purchase-orders.
upkeep_get_purchase_orderOne purchase order by id with its parts, quantities, costs and shipping details. GET /purchase-orders/{id}.
upkeep_list_preventive_maintenanceList preventive maintenance (PM) templates, the recurring work that generates scheduled work orders, with their schedules. Filter by text, asset, location, assignee, team or priority. Pages are 1-based. GET /pm.

Common questions
Is UpKeep 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 (1.16.3) 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: Spree Commerce: open-source B2B and marketplace ecommerce, Stripe MCP, MCP Cn Commerce
