Wild Apricot API and MCP server

Wild Apricot's API is built for developers, and it has no tools made for AI agents. Sign in to Wild Apricot once in your own Cloud Browser, and your AI agent does the work there for you. The same tools work over MCP for agents and as a REST API for scripts.

Wild Apricot's own API leaves this out. So we run one for you.

How do I connect Wild Apricot to Claude, ChatGPT or my code?

AI agents connect over MCP, scripts call the REST API. Both reach the same 12 tools with one API key.

For AI agents: MCP

Add Cotlet to your agent once. Wild Apricot and every other app you connect show up as its tools.

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
  https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor
    {
  "mcpServers": {

      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cotlet]
url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

For scripts: REST API

Every tool is an endpoint under /api/v1/wild-apricot with its own method and path, such as POST /api/v1/wild-apricot/invoices/{invoice_id}/payments, with the same API key. Our open-source repo has ready scripts to start from.

REST API docs

What can the Wild Apricot API and MCP server do?

12 tools on your own Wild Apricot account. Agents call them as operations of the MCP tools wild_apricot_read and wild_apricot_write; scripts call each one at its own REST endpoint, with the same inputs and answers.

Security overview

How much do the Wild Apricot API and MCP server cost?

One price for both: a tool call costs the same over MCP or REST. Free 7-day trial with 2,000 credits, no card needed. Then one-time credit packs, no subscription, valid 12 months. Each call uses 10 credits, and your Cloud Browser uses 50 credits a day while Wild Apricot is enabled for agents, so 20 calls a day come to 250 credits.

Questions

Does Wild Apricot have an API?

Yes, Wild Apricot has a REST API with an admin side and a member side, but no official MCP server (checked 23 Oct 2026). Its help center calls the API "intended for use by developers": you authorize an application, get an API key, exchange it for an OAuth token and write the calls yourself.

How do I get access?

Sign up free, open Wild Apricot under Integrations in the console and press Request access. Your free trial starts with your account, no card needed.

Is the MCP server different from the API?

No, only the way in. Cotlet builds each integration as a REST API and puts an MCP server on top, so both have the same 12 tools, the same inputs and answers, one API key and one price. AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use MCP; scripts, cron jobs and HTTP steps in n8n, Make or Zapier use the REST API.

What is the Cloud Browser?

Your own Chrome that Cotlet runs for you in the EU, around the clock. You open it from the console, sign in to Wild Apricot yourself and press Enable for agents. Your agent's calls go through it, from its IP with its cookies, so Wild Apricot sees the browser you signed in with. Password saving is off and the profile is stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

Can my agent act without asking me?

Not on anything that reaches other people: approve_membership_application, reject_membership_application, send_email, record_payment, register_contact_for_event wait for your OK by default. You can switch that off per tool for scheduled runs.

Which Wild Apricot administrator role does my account need?

A full administrator can use every tool. A membership manager can approve applications and record payments, and an events manager can check in registrants (only full administrators and event managers can), email registrants and record payments. Wild Apricot lists these roles on its Account administrators page, and a call without the role fails.

Do Wild Apricot's API limits apply to Cotlet?

Wild Apricot documents API limits of 40 requests per minute for contact lists, 120 for a contact by ID and 400 for other requests, and it requires pagination since 1 Nov 2025. Cotlet works in your signed-in admin session in the Cloud Browser, not through the API, so you need no API key, no application authorization and no OAuth code.

How fast does an email from my agent arrive?

Wild Apricot puts a manual email in its delivery queue, and it can take from a few minutes to a few hours to reach everyone. Use schedule_at to deliver at a set time in your organization's timezone. Wild Apricot sends one email per unique address and cannot attach files.

Should I use a Wild Apricot MCP server from GitHub instead?

Pick one if you want the code on your own computer and do not mind the upkeep: you install it, sign it in and fix it when Wild Apricot changes. Pick Cotlet if you want it hosted and kept working for you.

Can I use it in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 in n8n's MCP Client node, or call the REST endpoints from an HTTP step in Make or Zapier.

Who runs Cotlet?

Cotlet is run by Take Group, a Polish software company working since 2019. Take Group runs about 3,200 websites on its own systems and has its own DevOps team for infrastructure security. We built and used integrations like this inside the company for years before opening them as Cotlet.

Is Cotlet affiliated with Wild Apricot?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Wild Apricot.
