Run your time tracker by just asking
TRCR has a native MCP server, so the AI assistant you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, and more — can track time, triage tasks, draft invoices, and pull reports directly in your workspace. In plain language, acting safely inside your own permissions. No other time tracker does this.

Your assistant, working inside TRCR
MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is the emerging standard that lets AI assistants take real actions in real tools. TRCR ships a native MCP server, so with one connection an assistant like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or OpenAI Codex can operate directly in your workspace.
This isn’t a chatbot bolted onto a help page. It’s roughly 150 tools across 20 domains — tasks, timers, projects, clients, invoices, payments, reports, chat, search, and more — exposed to your assistant so it can actually do the work. And because the assistant works through the same service layer that powers the rest of TRCR, anything it does is a first-class action: a task it creates is identical to one you create in the app and shows up live for your whole team instantly.
Stop describing the work. Ask for it.
“Start a timer on the Homepage redesign task.”
“Create three tasks for the Q3 launch, assign them to Maria, and put them in the Design board.”
“How many billable hours did we log for Acme Corp last week, and who logged them?”
“Draft an invoice from this month's unbilled time for Acme and show me the total before sending.”
“Which active projects are over budget right now?”
If you can do it in TRCR, you can ask your assistant to do it for you.
Powerful, but on a short leash
Handing an assistant the keys only works if the keys are limited. Three guarantees sit under every tool call.
It can only do what you can do
Every action is authorized against your role and permissions. The AI inherits your access — never more. If you can't delete a project in the app, neither can your assistant.
Destructive actions ask first
Tools that delete, remove, or revoke are flagged, so your assistant pauses for confirmation before anything irreversible.
One token, one organization
Access is scoped to a single workspace, so connecting an assistant to one project never exposes the rest of your account.
There’s even a whoami tool to confirm exactly which user and organization a connection is acting as, any time.
Connected in about a minute
Create a token
In TRCR, go to Settings → Personal Access Tokens and create a token (name it “Claude Desktop,” “ChatGPT,” etc.). It’s shown once and stored only as a hash.
Point it at TRCR
Point your assistant’s MCP configuration at https://api.trcr.pro/mcp and paste the token.
Ask it to do something
That’s it. Ask your assistant to start a timer, draft an invoice, or pull a report — and watch it happen in your workspace.
One-click OAuth connect for Claude.ai and ChatGPT is rolling out — soon you won’t even need to paste a token. Full copy-paste setup for each client lives in the developer docs.
MCP is one of four first-class interfaces
TRCR speaks four API languages, all thin shims over the same core service layer — identical business logic, validation, and permissions no matter how you connect.
Our primary real-time transport — every change streams to every connected client instantly.
Predictable HTTP for scripts, webhooks, and quick integrations.
Ask for exactly the fields you want, in one round trip.
The AI-assistant interface — the same workspace, driven in plain language.
Build on whichever fits — they all behave the same way and publish the same real-time events. See the developer docs for full references.
The thing point tools can’t copy
Toggl, Harvest, and Clockify give you a tracker and, at best, a REST API. None lets the AI assistant you already work with operate your workspace in plain language, safely, across tasks, time, invoices, and reports. Because TRCR is one connected system — not a stack of separate apps — an assistant can move fluidly from “log these hours” to “draft the invoice” to “show me what’s over budget” without crossing tool boundaries.
The busywork of running a services business — logging hours, chasing tasks, assembling invoices, pulling numbers — is exactly the kind of work you can now delegate and double-check in seconds.

What is the TRCR MCP server?
It's a native Model Context Protocol server built into TRCR that lets AI assistants take real actions in your workspace. It exposes roughly 150 tools across 20 domains — tasks, timers, projects, clients, invoices, payments, reports, chat, and search — at https://api.trcr.pro/mcp.
Which AI assistants work with TRCR?
Any MCP-capable client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and OpenAI Codex. You connect with a Personal Access Token today; one-click OAuth for Claude.ai and ChatGPT is rolling out.
Is it safe to let an AI assistant access my workspace?
Yes, by design. The assistant inherits only your permissions and can never do more than you can. Destructive actions (delete/remove/revoke) require confirmation, and each token is scoped to a single organization. You can revoke any token instantly.
How do I connect my assistant to TRCR?
Create a Personal Access Token under Settings → Personal Access Tokens, point your assistant's MCP configuration at https://api.trcr.pro/mcp, and paste the token. Step-by-step guides for each client are in the developer docs.
Do other time trackers have this?
Not natively. Toggl, Harvest, and Clockify offer traditional APIs but no built-in MCP server that lets an AI assistant operate the whole workspace — tracking, invoicing, projects, and reports — in plain language within your permissions.
Does the AI assistant cost extra?
No. MCP access is part of TRCR. During early access every feature is free for everyone until December 31, 2026; afterward Pro is a flat $12/user/mo.
