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 Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
  2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Timetastic is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Timetastic tools are now invokable.
