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

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 shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
  2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name, e.g. Timetastic, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
  4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
