Open Dental MCP by usefulapi
Read appointments, open slots, providers, procedure codes and recalls in Open Dental.
What it does
Open Dental MCP by usefulapi is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: meeting scheduling. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as book sales meetings or schedule meetings.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.
