timecamp-mcp-server
Provides an MCP server (and resources/tools) that connects an AI assistant to TimeCamp’s time tracking API for reading projects/tasks/timer/time entries, searching, and performing actions like starting/stopping timers and creating manual time entries.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Uses HTTPS implicitly by typical httpx usage (not explicitly stated). Security posture centers on a single TimeCamp API token passed via environment variable; no explicit scope granularity or OAuth delegation is documented. README emphasizes token setup/troubleshooting; caching is mentioned but no details on cache encryption/retention. Dependency list is standard and likely low-risk, but no vulnerability/CVE history is provided.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want an MCP-capable assistant to interactively manage and summarize TimeCamp time tracking with low setup friction using a personal API token.
Avoid When
You need enterprise-grade authentication/authorization, strict compliance guarantees, or you can’t safely store/use a long-lived API token in an assistant environment.
Use Cases
- • AI-assisted time tracking: start/stop timers for tasks
- • Assist manual entry creation for past work
- • Generate daily/weekly standups and reports from TimeCamp data
- • Project/task lookup and fuzzy search for time entry workflows
- • Provide change history to keep assistants in sync with user activity
Not For
- • Replacing secure human-controlled accounting/audit workflows without verification
- • Bulk data export or large-scale ETL use-cases (not described)
- • Applications requiring OAuth/user-delegated auth flows or fine-grained permissioning beyond a single API token
Interface
Authentication
Authentication model is described as a single TimeCamp API token provided via env var to the MCP server process. No OAuth flow or explicit scope model is documented in the provided README/manifest.
Pricing
Pricing for the MCP server itself and TimeCamp API usage costs are not provided in the supplied content.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Long-lived API token is required; ensure it is not logged/exposed by the MCP client environment.
- ⚠ Retries after rate limits: README advises waiting 60 seconds; agents may otherwise spam requests.
- ⚠ Timer state: starting a timer may fail if another timer is already running; agent should stop current timer first.
- ⚠ Time entry creation requires precise date/time formats; invalid formats likely cause tool failures.
