TimeTac + Cursor
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
Step 1 — Get credentials
Your account name is part of every URL. TimeTac's API lives at https://api.timetac.com/<account>/v4/<resource>/<action>/. Set TIMETAC_ACCOUNT to your company account name (the name you log in with); the adapter builds the URL from it.
Getting API credentials
- API access is not open by default: contact TimeTac support ([email protected]) to have it enabled for your account.
- In TimeTac open your account settings → API Credentials and create a client. You receive a client id and a client secret.
…(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 Cursor
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.
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify

Available tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|

timetac_list_time_trackings | Read time trackings in a date range: start, end, duration, the user and the task booked against |
timetac_list_projects | List projects with their client, budget and status, so a time tracking can be attributed to a piece of work |
timetac_list_tasks | List tasks — the things users actually clock onto — with the project they belong to and whether they are still open |
timetac_list_absences | List absences (holiday, sick leave, special leave) with their type, date range and approval state, for the roster view |
timetac_list_departments | List the departments configured in the account, so users and reports can be grouped the way the org chart does |
