Talk to your time tracker

aTimeLogger now speaks MCP — the open protocol that connects apps to AI assistants. Start timers, log forgotten hours and ask where your week went, all in plain language.

Up and running in three steps

STEP 01

Generate a token

In the aTimeLogger web app open Settings → API Tokens and generate a personal access token. It is shown once and can be revoked at any time. API access is part of the Premium Sync plan.

STEP 02

Add the server

It's on npm — nothing to clone or build. Point any MCP client at npx -y atimelogger-mcp: one claude mcp add command for Claude Code, a short JSON block for Claude Desktop, Cursor and others. For ChatGPT, connect a self-hosted endpoint in Developer Mode. All snippets are in the README.

STEP 03

Just talk

Ask your assistant to start timers, log past activities or summarize your week. It speaks your language — activity names are matched automatically.

Prefer claude.ai in the browser, the Claude mobile apps — or ChatGPT? Run the same npm package on your own server — the README has a four-line Dockerfile and nginx config for self-hosting it as a remote connector (Claude Custom Connector or ChatGPT Developer Mode app).

Your data stays yours

aTimeLogger sends nothing to any AI provider. The MCP server runs on your computer (or a server you control) and talks directly to the aTimeLogger API with your revocable token. Your time data enters an AI conversation only when you ask your own assistant a question — under your account, your control.
