Toggl Track + Claude

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:

  1. Log into https://track.toggl.com → bottom-left avatar → Profile settings → scroll to API Token → reveal/copy.
  2. 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 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. Toggl Track, 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.
