FreeAgent MCP Server

A Claude MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for managing FreeAgent timeslips and timers. This server allows Claude to interact with your FreeAgent account to track time, manage timers, and handle timeslip operations.

Features

  • List and filter timeslips with nested data
  • Create new timeslips
  • Update existing timeslips
  • Start and stop timers
  • Delete timeslips
  • Automatic OAuth token refresh
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Docker support

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ (for direct Node.js usage)
  • Docker & Docker Compose (for containerized usage)
  • A FreeAgent account with API access
  • OAuth credentials from the FreeAgent Developer Dashboard

Installation

Option 1: Direct Node.js Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/freeagent-mcp.git cd freeagent-mcp
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Get your OAuth tokens:
# Set your FreeAgent credentials export FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id" export FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret" # Run the OAuth setup script node scripts/get-oauth-tokens.js

Option 2: Docker Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/freeagent-mcp.git cd freeagent-mcp
  1. Create your environment file:
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your FreeAgent credentials
  1. Build Docker image:
docker build -t freeagent-mcp .

Configuration

Add the server to your MCP settings (typically in %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json):

For Node.js Installation:

{ "mcpServers": { "freeagent": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/freeagent-mcp/build/index.js"], "env": { "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret", "FREEAGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token", "FREEAGENT_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

For Docker Installation:

{ "mcpServers": { "freeagent": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID", "-e", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET", "-e", "FREEAGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN", "-e", "FREEAGENT_REFRESH_TOKEN", "freeagent-mcp" ], "env": { "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret", "FREEAGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token", "FREEAGENT_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Usage

Once configured, Claude can use the following tools:

List Timeslips

{ "from_date": "2024-01-01", // Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) "to_date": "2024-03-04", // End date (YYYY-MM-DD) "updated_since": "2024-03-04T12:00:00Z", // ISO datetime "view": "all", // "all", "unbilled", or "running" "user": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/users/123", "task": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/tasks/456", "project": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/projects/789", "nested": true // Include nested resources }

Create Timeslip

{ "task": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/tasks/123", "user": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/users/456", "project": "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/projects/789", "dated_on": "2024-03-04", "hours": "1.5", "comment": "Optional comment" }

Timer Controls

// Start timer { "id": "123" } // Stop timer { "id": "123" }
