ATracker MCP Server

by braveva

ATracker MCP Server

MCP server + standalone CLI for syncing ATracker time tracking data to a local SQLite database. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client.

What it does

  1. Calls the ATracker cloud API (reverse-engineered web sync endpoint)

  2. Stores tasks, entries, tags, and task-tag relationships in a local SQLite DB

  3. Supports incremental sync (only fetches changes since last sync) and full sync

  4. Exposes 7 MCP tools for querying/exporting the data

  5. Also works as a standalone CLI script (atracker_sync.py)

Setup

1. Install dependencies

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Get credentials

  1. Open https://atracker.pro/Web/ and log in

  2. Open browser DevTools (F12) → Network tab → filter "Fetch/XHR"

  3. Do any action in the app (or refresh the page)

  4. Click the UpdateFromIOS request

  5. From Headers: copy the ARRAffinity cookie value

  6. From Payload: copy the uuid value

3. Configure

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

ATRACKER_COOKIE=your_arraffinity_cookie_value
ATRACKER_UUID=your-uuid-from-payload

Running

Standalone CLI (simplest)

# First sync — pulls all historical data
python3 atracker_sync.py --full

# Subsequent syncs — only new changes
python3 atracker_sync.py

# Export to CSV
python3 atracker_sync.py --export timeline.csv

# Export last 7 days to JSON
python3 atracker_sync.py --export week.json --days 7

# Export today only
python3 atracker_sync.py --export today.csv --today

Cron (production setup)

Add to crontab for automatic sync every 15 minutes:

crontab -e
*/15 * * * * cd /path/to/ATracker-MCP && source venv/bin/activate && python3 atracker_sync.py >> /var/log/atracker-sync.log 2>&1

PM2 (alternative)

pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

This runs the sync script and restarts it every 5 minutes (via restart_delay).

MCP Server (for Claude Desktop / Claude Code)

Add to Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atracker": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "atracker_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/ATracker-MCP",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/ATracker-MCP/src"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

Tool

Description

atracker_sync

Sync from ATracker cloud. full=true for all data, default incremental

atracker_current_task

Get the currently running/active task

atracker_timeline

Query entries. Filters: limit, date (YYYY-MM-DD), days, task (name search)

atracker_summary

Time totals grouped by task. Filters: date, days

atracker_tasks

List all tasks with entry counts

atracker_export

Export to CSV/JSON. Filters: format, days, output filename

atracker_stats

DB stats: task/entry counts, date range, last sync time

Database Schema

SQLite with 4 tables:

tasks (task_id TEXT PK, name TEXT, category TEXT, color TEXT, icon TEXT, tag_id TEXT)
entries (entry_id TEXT PK, task_id TEXT FK, start_time REAL, end_time REAL, notes TEXT)
tags (tag_id TEXT PK, name TEXT, color TEXT)
task_tags (task_id TEXT, tag_id TEXT, PK(task_id, tag_id))
  • start_time / end_time are Unix timestamps (seconds)

  • Running tasks have end_time = 0 or end_time < start_time

  • Indexes on entries(start_time) and entries(task_id)

Querying Tags

Tags are linked to tasks via the task_tags junction table. Here's how to query them:

Get all tasks with their tags

SELECT 
    t.task_id,
    t.name AS task_name,
    GROUP_CONCAT(g.name) AS tags
FROM tasks t
LEFT JOIN task_tags tt ON t.task_id = tt.task_id
LEFT JOIN tags g ON tt.tag_id = g.tag_id
GROUP BY t.task_id, t.name;

Get timeline entries with tags

SELECT 
    e.entry_id,
    t.name AS task_name,
    datetime(e.start_time, 'unixepoch') AS started,
    datetime(e.end_time, 'unixepoch') AS ended,
    GROUP_CONCAT(g.name) AS tags
FROM entries e
JOIN tasks t ON e.task_id = t.task_id
LEFT JOIN task_tags tt ON t.task_id = tt.task_id
LEFT JOIN tags g ON tt.tag_id = g.tag_id
GROUP BY e.entry_id
ORDER BY e.start_time DESC
LIMIT 20;

Filter entries by tag

SELECT 
    t.name AS task_name,
    SUM(e.end_time - e.start_time) / 3600.0 AS hours
FROM entries e
JOIN tasks t ON e.task_id = t.task_id
JOIN task_tags tt ON t.task_id = tt.task_id
JOIN tags g ON tt.tag_id = g.tag_id
WHERE g.name = 'Work'
  AND e.start_time >= strftime('%s', 'now', '-7 days')
GROUP BY t.name
ORDER BY hours DESC;

List all tags with task counts

SELECT 
    g.name AS tag,
    g.color,
    COUNT(DISTINCT tt.task_id) AS task_count
FROM tags g
LEFT JOIN task_tags tt ON g.tag_id = tt.tag_id
GROUP BY g.tag_id
ORDER BY task_count DESC;

API Details

The sync uses ATracker's web sync endpoint (PUT /api/services/app/ATUpdateFromIOS/UpdateFromIOS). Key points:

  • Auth via ARRAffinity cookie (same value in both ARRAffinity and ARRAffinitySameSite)

  • Header Abp.TenantId: 1 is required

  • lastSyncTimeStampInApp controls incremental sync (0 = full sync, Unix timestamp = changes since)

  • Response contains result.updateTask, result.updateTaskEntry, result.updateTag, result.updateTaskTag arrays

  • Cookie typically valid ~1 week; re-login at web app to refresh

Privacy

  • Credentials in .env (gitignored)

  • All data stored locally in SQLite

  • Only communicates with atracker.pro official API
