clockodo
clockodo time tracking for German SMBs: time entries, customers, projects, services, users, absences and the running clock. REST API v2, authenticated with a per-user API key plus the user's e-mail address.
Setup
Getting credentials — clockodo needs two values.
- Sign in and open Mein Bereich → Mein Benutzerkonto; the API-Schlüssel is at the bottom of the page. Put it in
CLOCKODO_API_KEY. - Put the e-mail address of that same account in
CLOCKODO_API_USER. clockodo sends it in theX-ClockodoApiUserheader and rejects a key without it. - clockodo also asks every API client to identify itself in a
X-Clockodo-External-Applicationheader; this adapter sendsAnythingMCP;[email protected]automatically.
