Timetastic + ChatGPT

Manage Timetastic (PTO / annual leave tracking) users, holidays, departments, leave types from any AI agent. 8 tools, Bearer token.

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:

TIMETASTIC_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Timetastic REST API v2 (app.timetastic.co.uk/api).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://app.timetastic.co.uk → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API → Generate API token.
  2. Set TIMETASTIC_API_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${TIMETASTIC_API_TOKEN}.

Entities: User (employees) → Holiday (leave requests). Each holiday has start/end, type (annual, sickness, etc.), status (approved/declined/pending).

Pagination: most endpoints return everything (paginated only by Start/End filters). Use date windows aggressively.

Rate limits: 60 req/min per token. 429 with Retry-After.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && 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.

  1. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (or click the 🔧 icon in the composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Timetastic
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
