Toggl MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants log time entries to Toggl Track.

What it does

Exposes three tools to MCP clients (e.g. Claude):

• get_tags — lists existing Toggl tags (cached daily)

• get_entry_descriptions — lists existing time entry descriptions (cached daily)

• create_time_entry — logs a new time entry with a start time, end time, description, and tag

Also exposes toggl://tags, toggl://entries, and toggl://now as MCP resources.

Time input is in Eastern Time (America/New_York) and converted to UTC before submission.
