Clockify + Claude
Manage Clockify (time tracking, projects, tasks, clients, tags, workspace users, reports) from any AI agent. 18 tools, X-Api-Key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
CLOCKIFY_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Clockify REST API v1 (api.clockify.me/api/v1).
Setup:
- Sign in to https://clockify.me → bottom-left avatar → Preferences → Advanced → API → Generate API key.
- Set
CLOCKIFY_API_KEY.
Authentication: X-Api-Key: ${CLOCKIFY_API_KEY} on every request.
Workspace IDs: Clockify is workspace-scoped. Use clockify_get_user first — its response contains defaultWorkspace and activeWorkspace. List workspaces with clockify_list_workspaces.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
Clockify, and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
