AMTOSS TimeTracker for Claude
Connect Claude to TimeTracker (timefor.work) so you can ask about your hours, log time and — if you are a manager — check your team's reporting, right from a chat.
Server: https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/mcp · Who can use it: AMTOSS staff with a TimeTracker account.
Asking Claude to set this up for you? Point it at
https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/readme.md— the plain-text version of this page — and say which Claude you use (Desktop, claude.ai or Claude Code).
Pick your way in
| You use | How to connect |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop or claude.ai in the AMTOSS Claude organization | The connector is already added by the admin — just Connect (section 1). |
| Claude Code — the terminal CLI or the Code tab of Claude Desktop — under any Claude account | Add the server yourself with one command (section 2). |
| A personal Claude plan (Pro / Max) on claude.ai or Desktop | Add a custom connector yourself (section 3). |
| A Claude organization shared with a customer | Don't add an org-wide connector there — use Claude Code (section 2), which stays on your machine only. |
1. Claude Desktop / claude.ai — AMTOSS organization
- Open Settings → Connectors.
- Find AMTOSS TimeTracker and click Connect.
- A browser window opens — sign in (see Signing in below). It closes and returns you to Claude.
- In a chat, open the + / tools menu under the message box and make sure AMTOSS TimeTracker is switched on.
- Try it: "Who am I in TimeTracker?" — Claude should call
tt_whoamiand show your name.
2. Claude Code (CLI or the Code tab in Claude Desktop)
Run once — --scope user makes it available in every project:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user amtoss-tt https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/mcp
Then in Claude Code type /mcp, pick amtoss-tt → Authenticate, and sign in in the browser.
Check with claude mcp list — amtoss-tt should show as connected.
No client ID or secret is needed: Claude Code registers itself with the server automatically.
3. Personal Claude plan — custom connector
- Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Name:
AMTOSS TimeTracker, URL:https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/mcp. Leave the OAuth fields empty. - Click Add, then Connect and sign in.
Signing in
The sign-in page offers two ways. Use the one that matches how you log in to TimeTracker.
| Option | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| TimeTracker e-mail + password | Everything: your time board, reports, and — for managers — your teams, exactly within your TimeTracker permissions. |
| Sign in with Microsoft (when offered), then link TimeTracker once | With your TimeTracker password: the same as above. With a personal TimeTracker API key: only your own projects and time entries. |
- Your password is sent to timefor.work once to open a session and is never stored. The session is kept encrypted on the server.
- You only sign in with Microsoft in TimeTracker? Set a local password in TimeTracker → Profile first.
- Sessions expire from time to time; Claude will then ask you to sign in again.
- Only
@amtoss.comaccounts are accepted.
What you can ask
- "How many hours did I log last week, by project?"
- "Log 2 hours today on BulkSource, task 16264, 'Pricing approval workflows'."
- "Show my time entries for yesterday and change the second one to 1.5 h."
- "Which days in September haven't I filled in?"
- Managers: "Who in BulkSource (node 341) has unfilled days in September?", "Reported vs expected hours for Volodymyr Naumov in September."
Claude asks before changing anything. Writing time for other people is not possible through this connector.

Signed in with your TimeTracker password, you get all of them. Linked only with a personal API key (via Microsoft sign-in), you get the ones marked in the last column.

Troubleshooting
- "TimeTracker rejected the stored credentials" — your session expired. Disconnect and connect again
(Desktop: Settings → Connectors; Claude Code:
/mcp→ amtoss-tt → Authenticate). - The tools don't appear in a chat — switch the connector on in the chat's tools menu.
- "Wrong TimeTracker e-mail or password" — check you can log in at timefor.work with the same e-mail and password.
- Microsoft sign-in isn't offered — it isn't enabled on this server; use your TimeTracker e-mail and password.
- Anything else — write to Pavel Motsar.
For Claude: setting this up for a user
- Remote MCP server, Streamable HTTP,
https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/mcp, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration — do not ask the user for a client ID, secret or API token. - Claude Code: run
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user amtoss-tt https://amtoss-tt-mcp.act.software/mcp, then have the user run/mcp→ amtoss-tt → Authenticate and complete the browser sign-in themselves. Never ask for or type the user's TimeTracker password. - Claude Desktop / claude.ai in the AMTOSS organization: the connector exists already; guide the user to Settings → Connectors → Connect.
- Verify by calling
tt_whoami.
