Toggl Track + ChatGPT
Manage Toggl Track (time entries, projects, clients, tags, workspaces) from any AI agent. 9 tools, basic-auth with API 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:
TOGGL_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Toggl Track API v9 (api.track.toggl.com/api/v9).
Setup:
- Log into https://track.toggl.com → bottom-left avatar → Profile settings → scroll to API Token → reveal/copy.
- Set
TOGGL_API_TOKEN.
Authentication: HTTP Basic, with API token as the username and the literal string api_token as the password:
Authorization: Basic base64(TOKEN:api_token)
The adapter sets this automatically via BASIC_AUTH (username=token, password=api_token). DO NOT pass real user/password — Toggl only accepts the token-pair.
…(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 ChatGPT
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.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Toggl Track. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
