Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| timecard_get_projectsA | Get list of available projects. Returns project id and name. Use the project id with timecard_get_activities to get activity options, and with timecard_save to set entries. |
| timecard_get_activitiesB | Get list of activities for a specific project. Returns activity id, name, and value. The 'value' field (format: "bottom$uid$pid$progress") is the activity_value needed by timecard_save's entries parameter. |
| timecard_get_timesheetA | Get timesheet data for a specific week. Read-only, no side effects. Returns for each entry:
Status values:
This retrieves SAVED data from the server. Use timecard_save to make changes. |
| timecard_versionA | Get TimeCard MCP version information. Returns:
Use this to verify which version of TimeCard MCP is running. |
| timecard_get_summaryC | Get summary statistics for the current timesheet week |
| timecard_saveA | Atomic save: apply entries, hours, and notes to a specific week in one operation. This tool fetches the target week's page, reconstructs the full form state, applies your changes on top, and POSTs to the server — all in a single call. No prior setup needed other than authentication (handled automatically). Parameters:
All dates in hours/notes must fall within the same week as the top-level date. ⚠️ WORKFLOW:
NOTE: Only 'save' (draft) is supported. 'submit' (for approval) is strictly prohibited. WARNING: Notes cannot contain special characters: #$%^&*=+{}[]|?'" |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose with no overlap: timecard_get_activities retrieves activities for a project, timecard_get_projects lists projects, timecard_get_summary provides weekly statistics, timecard_get_timesheet fetches weekly data, timecard_save performs atomic updates, and timecard_version returns version info. The descriptions clearly differentiate their functions, preventing agent misselection.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case naming pattern with a 'timecard_' prefix and descriptive verb_noun combinations (e.g., timecard_get_activities, timecard_save). This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to understand for agents.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing timesheets, covering key operations like viewing projects, activities, timesheet data, summaries, saving entries, and checking version. Each tool serves a necessary function without redundancy, fitting typical MCP server ranges.
The tool set covers core timesheet workflows: retrieving data (projects, activities, timesheets, summaries) and saving changes. A minor gap exists as the server lacks a tool for submitting timesheets for approval (only draft saves are supported), which might limit full lifecycle coverage but is workable for basic operations.
