Atimelogger MCP

A standalone MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the ATimeLogger REST API to AI assistants - locally over stdio (Claude Desktop / Claude Code / OpenAI Codex) or remotely as a connector (claude.ai in the browser, Claude mobile apps, ChatGPT). Scope: activities (start/stop/pause/log), reports/history, and activity types. Its 10 documented tools cluster into read & search, run & execute, pause, log.

People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Atimelogger MCP

before you install - you'll need

ATL_TOKEN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add zaplitny-atimelogger-mcp -- npx -y atimelogger-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zaplitny-atimelogger-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "atimelogger-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-13 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package atimelogger-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.zaplitny is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Atimelogger MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can start by type name, stop the active activity (name optional if only one is active), and pause or resume.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Atimelogger MCP lets an agent do.

read & search

3 tools - e.g. Running/paused activities with elapsed time; Activity type names as a group tree (source of names for other tools); Raw history grouped by day, paged, max 100-day range

get_current_status · list_activity_types · list_intervals

run & execute

2 tools - e.g. Start by type name; optional backdating (at wall-clock time or started_minutes_ago); Stop the active activity (name optional if only one is active); same backdating options

start_activity · stop_activity

Pause

1 tool - e.g. Pause or resume

pause_resume_activity

Log

1 tool - e.g. Retroactively log a completed entry (wall-clock times, optional comment/tags)

log_interval

update

1 tool - e.g. Change the comment/tags of an existing entry (running or past) without touching its times

update_activity

Time

1 tool - e.g. Aggregated per-type statistics for a period (today, this_week, last_month, … or explicit dates)

time_report

App

1 tool - e.g. Official app documentation (atimelogger.pro/docs) - the assistant looks up how app features work (goals, widgets, sync, export, …) instead of guessing

app_help

Limitations (from the README)

- start_activity cannot attach a comment (the underlying start endpoint takes only a type and time); add one afterwards with update_activity, or use log_interval for retroactive entries with comments/tags. - Only comments and tags of existing entries can be edited (update_activity); interval times cannot be changed and entries cannot be deleted - use the ATimeLogger app for that (the assistant can explain how via app
