What is the Clockify MCP server?

Most AI and media services work still happens through a UI a human drives. Clockify MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. This MCP Server integrates with AI Tools to manage your time entries in Clockify, so you can register your time entries just sending an prompt to LLM.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLOCKIFY_API_URL, CLOCKIFY_API_TOKEN, ABSOLUTE_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by https-eduardo; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
