# Hubstaff MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Hubstaff API integration, enabling seamless time tracking, project management, and team collaboration through AI assistants.
## Features
- **Time Tracking**: Create, update, and retrieve time entries
- **Project Management**: List and manage projects, tasks, and teams
- **User Management**: Get user information and organization details
- **Activity Monitoring**: Access screenshots, activities, and productivity data
- **Reporting**: Generate timesheets and activity reports
## Installation
### Using uv (recommended)
```bash
uv add hubstaff-mcp
```
### Using pip
```bash
pip install hubstaff-mcp
```
## Configuration
Before using the server, you need to obtain a Personal Access Token from Hubstaff:
1. Log in to your Hubstaff account
2. Go to Settings → Personal Access Tokens
3. Create a new token with the required permissions
### Environment Variables
Set the following environment variable:
```bash
export HUBSTAFF_REFRESH_TOKEN="your_personal_access_token_here"
```
Or create a `.env` file in your project root:
```
HUBSTAFF_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token_here
```
**Note**: The personal access token is used as a refresh token to obtain temporary access tokens for API calls. This approach provides better security by automatically handling token renewal.
## Usage
### Running the Server
```bash
hubstaff-mcp
```
Or using uv:
```bash
uv run hubstaff-mcp
```
### Configuration with Claude Desktop
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

}
}
}
