Details
From the project READMETimesheets.com MCP by usefulapi
Use your Timesheets.com account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read users, clock status, items, project timers and reports, and create users or assign items to users. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://timesheets-com.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://timesheets-com.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http timesheets-com https://timesheets-com.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"timesheets-com": {
"url": "https://timesheets-com.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 Timesheets.com credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/timesheets-com/
On first connect you provide the Timesheets.com API key and the authorization token (a Primary Administrator creates both in the API dashboard). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.

Pricing

|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Pro (per user) | $9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free) | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+ (per user) | $39/mo or $390/yr (2 months free) | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run timesheets_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with timesheets_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with timesheets_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
