Chronicle Online MCP by usefulapi

Chronicle Online MCP by usefulapi

Use your Chronicle Online account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Reads employees, absences, clockings, shifts, work records and overtime. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://chronicle-online.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://chronicle-online.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http chronicle-online https://chronicle-online.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": {
    "chronicle-online": {
      "url": "https://chronicle-online.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 Chronicle Online credentials.

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

On first connect you provide a Chronicle API Client ID and a Chronicle API Client Secret (Chronicle issues both on request: ask your account manager or support team). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
