Implementation Reference

• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:1118-1153 (handler)

  The core handler function for the 'log_time' tool. It resolves the task ID using _resolve_task_id, parses the duration string using parse_duration from utils, constructs a time entry payload, determines the workspace ID if needed, and posts it to the ClickUp time_entries API endpoint.
  async def log_time( self, task_id: str, duration: str, description: Optional[str] = None, ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Log time spent on a task.""" try: # First resolve the task to get the internal ID resolved_task = await self._resolve_task_id(task_id) duration_ms = parse_duration(duration) except ClickUpAPIError as e: return {"error": f"Failed to resolve task '{task_id}': {e!s}"} # Create time entry payload = { "duration": duration_ms, "task_id": resolved_task.id, } if description: payload["description"] = description workspace_id = self.client.config.default_workspace_id if not workspace_id: workspaces = await self.client.get_workspaces() workspace_id = workspaces[0].id await self.client._request("POST", f"/team/{workspace_id}/time_entries", json=payload) return { "logged": True, "duration": duration, "duration_ms": duration_ms, "task_id": resolved_task.id, }
• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:380-392 (schema)

  The JSON schema definition for the 'log_time' tool input, defining properties for task_id (string, required), duration (string, e.g. '2h 30m', required), and optional description (string). Provided via get_tool_definitions().
  Tool( name="log_time", description="Log time spent on a task", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "task_id": {"type": "string", "description": "Task ID"}, "duration": {"type": "string", "description": "Duration (e.g., '2h 30m')"}, "description": {"type": "string", "description": "Optional description"}, }, "required": ["task_id", "duration"], }, ),
• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:23-57 (registration)

  Registration of the 'log_time' handler in the ClickUpTools class's _tools dictionary, mapping the tool name to self.log_time method. Used by call_tool to dispatch invocations.
