# TrackingTime MCP Server
An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that connects AI assistants like Claude to the [TrackingTime](https://trackingtime.co/) API v4. Manage projects, tasks, time tracking, staff assignments, and customers through natural language.
## Quick Start
### 1. Get your TrackingTime credentials
- **App Password:** TrackingTime → Manage → User Settings → Apps & Integrations → create a new App Password
- **Account ID:** Visible in your TrackingTime URL when logged in, or in account settings
### 2. Add to your AI assistant
**Claude Code:**
```bash
claude mcp add trackingtime -e TT_APP_PASSWORD=your-app-password -e TT_ACCOUNT_ID=your-account-id -- npx trackingtime-mcp
```
**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"trackingtime": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["trackingtime-mcp"],
"env": {
"TT_APP_PASSWORD": "your-app-password",
"TT_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id"
}
}
}
}
```
Restart your assistant after adding.
### Alternative: Install from source
If you prefer to clone and build locally:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ficus33/trackingtime-mcp.git
cd trackingtime-mcp
npm install
npm run build
cp .env.example .env # then edit .env with your credentials
```
Then point your assistant at the local build:
```bash
claude mcp add trackingtime -- node /path/to/trackingtime-mcp/dist/index.js
```

### Reducing tool count
All 54 tools are active by default. If you find this adds too much context for your AI assistant, you can clone the repo, comment out tools you don't need in `src/tools.ts` with `/* */`, and run `npm run build` to create a slimmer build.
## Testing
Use [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) to test tools interactively:
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx trackingtime-mcp
```
## API Notes
A few TrackingTime API quirks to be aware of:
- `duration` and `accumulated_time` are in **seconds**
- `estimated_time` and `worked_hours` are in **hours**
- Time entries are called "events" in the API
- Starting a timer when one is already running returns error 502 — use `stop_running_task=true` to auto-stop the current timer
- Dates use `YYYY-MM-DD`, datetimes use `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`
## Auth
This server uses TrackingTime's **App Password** authentication. Your real password is never stored. The App Password is sent as HTTP Basic auth (`API_TOKEN:`) over SSL.
If an App Password is compromised, revoke it in TrackingTime and create a new one — no need to change your account password.
