Read users, clock status, items and reports, and create users or assign items in Timesheets.com. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Timesheets.com connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For payroll and operations managers who track hours in Timesheets.com.
List the clock status of several users, or of the users one supervisor manages. Then list the running project timers of one user.
Get the hourly time report for a date range, grouped and summarised or detailed. Choose processed or unprocessed records.
List the hourly payroll periods, then preview the payroll for a date range and users. The preview does not close a payroll period.
List the items, then add customers, projects or account codes to a user, and set the default. Existing assignments stay as they are.
Changes dataCreate a user in the company. Set send_notification_email to true to send the invitation email.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Timesheets.com API key and Timesheets.com authorization token.
A Primary Administrator creates both in Timesheets.com's API settings (API dashboard). The key and token are used only to call the Timesheets.com API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone. Use the token again when it expires.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"timesheets-com": {
"url": "https://timesheets-com.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"timesheets-com": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://timesheets-com.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Timesheets.com API key and Timesheets.com authorization token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Timesheets.com server only. Ask your AI to run timesheets_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with timesheets_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with timesheets_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Timesheets.com. The server calls the Timesheets.com API with your own Timesheets.com access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Timesheets.com API key and Timesheets.com authorization token. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Timesheets.com API key and Timesheets.com authorization token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Timesheets.com API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Timesheets.com.
Yes, if you approve it. 7 of the 22 Timesheets.com tools can create or change data. The other 15 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Timesheets.com server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run timesheets_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run timesheets_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run timesheets_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with timesheets_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
