MCP server for RescueTime productivity data
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. For RescueTime Productivity Data MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. MCP server for RescueTime productivity data.
All tools accept a day parameter: "today", "yesterday", or "YYYY-MM-DD".
fastmcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
get_daily_summary — Productivity pulse, hours logged, productive vs. distracting time breakdownget_top_activities — Top apps/websites ranked by time spentget_categories — Time breakdown by category (Development, Communication, Social, etc.)get_productivity_trend — Productivity pulse trend over the past N daysConfiguration is passed through the environment: RESCUETIME_API_KEY. 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.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. For RescueTime Productivity Data's toolset — get_daily_summary, get_top_activities, get_categories and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by adelaidasofia; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
