TimeTac + ChatGPT
TimeTac time and attendance for DACH teams: time trackings, users, projects, tasks, absences and the live clock-in state. REST API v3 on the customer's own timetac.com subdomain, OAuth 2.0.
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:
TIMETAC_ACCOUNT, TIMETAC_CLIENT_ID, TIMETAC_CLIENT_SECRET, TIMETAC_REFRESH_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Your account name is part of every URL. TimeTac gives each customer a subdomain and repeats the account name in the path: https://<account>.timetac.com/<account>/api/v3/. Set TIMETAC_ACCOUNT to that name (the part before .timetac.com) and the adapter builds both halves.
Getting OAuth credentials
- Ask TimeTac support to enable API access and issue an OAuth 2.0 client for your account — it is not self-service in the web UI.
- You receive a client id and client secret. Complete the authorization-code flow once against
https://<account>.timetac.com/<account>/oauth2/authorizeand keep the refresh token. - …
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 ChatGPT
ChatGPT supports MCP servers via the Connectors feature (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise plans). The free tier does not support custom connectors.
- Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (or click the 🔧 icon in the composer → Manage connectors).
- Click "Add custom connector".
- Fill in:
- Name:
TimeTac - MCP server URL:
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp - Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
- Name:
- Click Connect to authorize.
