TimeCamp MCP Server
- Why TS not Python? Official client, more materials, support for Cloudflare workers.
- Why hosted and not local only? Easier to use, users don't need to install it.
- Why Cloudflare Workers? Cheap & easy.
- add_timecamp_time_entry - Create a new time entry with start time, end time, note, and optional task
- get_timecamp_time_entries - Retrieve time entries for a specified date range
- get_timecamp_tasks - Fetch all available TimeCamp projects and tasks
- delete_timecamp_time_entry - Delete a specific time entry by ID
- update_timecamp_time_entry - Update an existing time entry (time, note, or task assignment)
Example prompt
Create Timecamp time entries based on these tasks I did.
I write tasks by putting -HH:MM, which is the end time for the task, so each time entry should take from end end time of previous entry.
Try to match timecamp task, so first you have to fetch my timecamp tasks.
Note should be single sentence in English with 3-12 words.
Ignore "[minutes:: ...]" as this is estimate.

Connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server
You can also connect to your remote MCP server from local MCP clients, by using the mcp-remote proxy.
To connect to your MCP server from Claude Desktop, follow Anthropic's Quickstart and within Claude Desktop go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config.
Update with this configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"timecamp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://my-mcp-server.timecamp-s-a.workers.dev/sse", // or http://localhost:8787/sse
"--header",
"Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
],
"env": {
"AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <auth-token>"
}
},
"timecamp_url": { // if MCP client supports url
"url": "https://my-mcp-server.timecamp-s-a.workers.dev/sse",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <auth-token>...."
}
},
}
}
Restart Claude and you should see the tools become available.
