What is the Tempo MCP Server?

MCP server for managing Tempo worklogs in Jira

What you get

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Tempo worklogs in Jira. This server provides tools for tracking time and managing worklogs through Tempo's API, making it accessible through Claude, Cursor and other MCP-compatible clients.

  • Retrieve Worklogs — Get all worklogs for a specific date range
  • Create Worklog — Log time against Jira issues
  • Bulk Create — Create multiple worklogs in a single operation
  • Edit Worklog — Modify time spent, dates, and descriptions
  • Delete Worklog — Remove existing worklogs
  • Missing Days Report — Find working days where you logged less than expected (uses Tempo's user-schedule, so holidays and non-working days are skipped automatically)

Configuration and credentials

  • A Cloudflare account (free plan is enough). - Node.js 18+ and npm locally — only used for wrangler CLI; the Worker runtime itself doesn't run Node.
