Harvest + Claude

Manage Harvest (time tracking, projects, clients, invoices, expenses) from any AI agent. 10 tools, Bearer auth with account-ID header.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN, HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Harvest API v2 (api.harvestapp.com/v2).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://id.getharvest.com → bottom-left avatar → Developers → Create new personal access token.
  2. Copy the token and the Account ID shown on the same page (a 7-digit number like 1234567).
  3. Set both: HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN and HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID.

Authentication: every request requires BOTH:

  • Authorization: Bearer ${HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN}
  • Harvest-Account-Id: ${HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID}
  • A User-Agent header (Harvest API requires it — the adapter sets AnythingMCP (support@anythingmcp.com)).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Schritt 3 — Connector in Claude hinzufügen

Empfohlener Weg — funktioniert auf claude.ai web ohne Anfassen einer Konfigurationsdatei.

  1. Öffne claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Klicke "Add custom connector".
  3. Trage ein:
    • Name: Harvest
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer Token → MCP-API-Key einfügen (aus AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Klicke Connect zum Autorisieren.
