Details

From the project README

TimeTac MCP by usefulapi

Use your TimeTac account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read employees, time entries, absences, projects and tasks, and start timers, add time entries or handle leave requests. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://timetac.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

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

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

On first connect you provide your TimeTac account name, and the client id and client secret of an API client (TimeTac → Account settings → API Credentials; ask [email protected] to enable the API if it is missing). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

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.
