Time Tracking MCP Server for AI Assistants
Use WebWork inside the AI tool you already work in. Start timers, approve timesheets, assign tasks, and pull reports by simply asking the AI agent you use. WebWork brings MCP time tracking to ChatGPT, Claude, and any other MCP-compatible AI assistant. Connect once and your assistant takes the same actions inside your workspace that you would take yourself.

What Is MCP in Time Tracking?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside software, in this case your WebWork workspace.
WebWork provides a time tracking MCP server that connects AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to its platform.
Whatever you can do in WebWork, you can ask your AI agent like ChatGPT or Claude to do instead. The MCP server is available on every plan, including Pro at $3.99 per user per month.
Why Connect Your Time Tracker to Your AI?
You already use and pay for an AI assistant, and it can already reach your calendar, your inbox, and your documents. But your workspace might be the exception. How many hours the team worked, what each person spent them on, which projects are running past estimate, or which timesheets are still waiting.
WebWork’s MCP server opens all of it. Your AI agent can now access everything in your workspace.
It can also act on what it finds or what you ask. Ask it to check last week’s productivity and approve the timesheets for the people who tracked their hours properly, and it does both in one request.
What Your AI Model Can Do in Your Workspace
Ask your connected AI agents a question about your WebWork workspace and they will give you the answer: how many hours the design team logged last week, who is tracking right now, or which timesheets are waiting on you.
Ask your AI agents for something to be done in your WebWork workspace and they will do it on your behalf: the timer starts, the timesheet is approved, the task is assigned.

Timesheets and approvals
Ask which timesheets are pending and your assistant lists them with the hours and activity descriptions attached. Ask it to approve the week and it approves them as well. If rejected, it includes the reason and sends the timesheet to the employee.
Reports without building reports
Tracked hours, timeline, activity level, activity descriptions, and task reports are all available by asking for them. The agent gives you the answer in the conversation you’re having with it, so you don’t have to open the dashboard.
Projects, tasks, and people
Your assistant can create a project, add tasks and assign them, invite a member at a specific role, build a team, and set job titles. Screenshots come back read-only, with the member, project, and task each one belongs to.
Connect an AI Assistant to Your Time Tracker
Connect WebWork with any MCP-compatible tool, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
ChatGPT
Connect ChatGPT to your time tracker and ask for last week’s tracked hours, or approve the timesheets waiting on you, without leaving the chat. Custom connectors require developer mode.
Connect in ChatGPTClaude
Chat with Claude and run your workspace in the same conversation — timers, reports, tasks, and approvals. Works on web, desktop, and mobile.
Connect in ClaudeOther MCP clients
Any client that connects by URL and accepts OAuth credentials can use WebWork, including future agents that adopt the protocol.
Connect Other AI ToolsFirst Time Tracker with a Complete MCP Server
Most other time tracking MCP servers only read data or edit entries and can’t approve a timesheet, assign a task, or manage a team. WebWork lets agents run your workforce, fully.
WebWork’s server covers the administrative side of the product, like:
- Approve or reject a timesheet, with the reason you give
- Assign a task, invite a member, build a team
- Set a contract rate, put someone on a shift
Your agent can now finish whole workflows instead of editing one entry at a time. That makes WebWork the first time tracker with a complete MCP server and the first agentic MCP in time tracking.
What Your AI Can and Cannot Access
The connector accesses, responds, and performs according to your member type permissions. A tool you are not permitted to use in your workspace returns a permission error rather than a result.
- You grant read, write, and administrative access during sign-in, and your AI client lets you approve tools individually.
- Deletions and archiving require an explicit confirmation before anything happens.
- Some actions send real email like member and project-viewer invitations, leave approvals, and the assistant tells you before it sends them.
- Disconnecting revokes access at any time, from your AI client.
- The connector keeps no separate copy of your workspace data.
Where MCP Stands in Time Tracking
Most time trackers have no official MCP server and a few have one that reads and writes time entries. WebWork’s covers the whole platform: alongside timers and reports, your assistant can approve a timesheet, invite a member, build a team, and manage shifts — actions no other official server offers.
WebWork
Official server — 120 tools across 21 areas, including approvals, members, teams, and shifts
TrackingTime
Official server — entries, projects, customers; no approvals or workforce management
Timely
Official server, narrow scope — time entries, projects, tags
Clockify
Community servers only, unofficial GitHub projects
Hubstaff
Official server, read-only and cannot create, modify, or delete
Time Doctor
Community server, report export only
Harvest
Community servers only
Toggl Track

How to Connect the WebWork MCP Server
You need a WebWork account with the Workspace Owner or Executive Manager role and a verified email address. From there, there are two ways to connect:
-
The quickest way is to connect from your AI client’s connector directory, if WebWork appears in it.
-
The other way is to add WebWork by URL in clients such as Claude or ChatGPT, using OAuth credentials you create in WebWork. The Quickstart includes the exact redirect URLs for each client.
WebWork AI and the MCP Server
WebWork AI
WebWork AI and the MCP server work on the same data but from opposite sides. WebWork AI runs inside the product: it analyzes employee performance, writes daily activity summaries, and flags overwork and irregular tracking patterns inside the platform.
MCP Server
The MCP server points the other way. Instead of WebWork’s AI analyzing your workspace, your own assistant operates it. It runs the report you asked for, approves the timesheet, and creates the task.
