Lazy Toggl MCP Server

Lazy toggl mcp mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Lazy Toggl MCP directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Toggl time tracking.

What Lazy Toggl MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Toggl time tracking.

Key capabilities

• Start/stop time tracking
• Get current entry
• List workspaces

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:

• start_tracking — Start tracking time for a new task
• Inputs — - title (string): Title/description of the task to track
• stop_tracking — Stop the currently running time entry
• list_workspaces — List all available workspaces
• show_current_time_entry — Show the currently running time entry, if any
• Returns — - If tracking: Task description, entry ID, workspace, start time, running duration, tags, and project (if any)
• Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server

Installing the lazy toggl mcp mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: TOGGL_API_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. Lazy Toggl MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — start_tracking, Inputs, stop_tracking among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
• With 7 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Lazy Toggl MCP.
• Maintained by movstox, written in Python.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the lazy toggl mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
