TimeChimpMCP MCP Server

Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. TimeChimpMCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TimeChimp API v2.

The short version

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with TimeChimp API v2. This server provides tools for retrieving and managing all major TimeChimp resources including projects, users, time entries, contacts, customers, tasks, invoices, expenses, mileage, and tags.

• Projects — Full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with comprehensive project management including invoicing, budgeting, task/user assignments, and insights
• Users — Full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with user management including roles, contracts, tags, and employee information
• Time Entries — Fetch time entries with date ranges, user/project filtering, and sorting
• Contacts — Full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for contact management
• Customers — Full CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for customer management
• Tasks — Get task information with project filtering and sorting

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:

• Projects — Create, read, update, delete projects with insights
• Users — Manage users with contracts and roles
• Contacts — Full contact management
• Customers — Complete customer lifecycle management
• Expenses — Expense tracking with approval workflows
• Mileage — Mileage tracking with vehicle management

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: TIMECHIMP_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.

• Node.js 18.0.0 or higher - A TimeChimp account with API access - TimeChimp API key

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

Plenty of planning and project tracking 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. TimeChimpMCP's toolset — Projects, Users, Contacts and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Sungdaddy; 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.
