Harvest + ChatGPT

Manage Harvest (time tracking, projects, clients, invoices, expenses) from any AI agent. 10 tools, Bearer auth with account-ID header.

前提条件

完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:

HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN, HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

This connector wraps the Harvest API v2 (api.harvestapp.com/v2).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://id.getharvest.com → bottom-left avatar → Developers → Create new personal access token.
  2. Copy the token and the Account ID shown on the same page (a 7-digit number like 1234567).
  3. Set both: HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN and HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID.

Authentication: every request requires BOTH:

  • Authorization: Bearer ${HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN}
  • Harvest-Account-Id: ${HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID}
  • A User-Agent header (Harvest API requires it — the adapter sets AnythingMCP (support@anythingmcp.com)).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

步骤 2 — 安装 adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

步骤 3 — 在 ChatGPT 中添加连接器

ChatGPT 通过 Connectors 功能 (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise 套餐) 支持 MCP 服务器。免费套餐不支持自定义连接器。

  1. 打开 ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (或点击 composer 中的 🔧 图标 → Manage connectors)。
  2. 点击 "Add custom connector"
  3. 填入:
    • Name: Harvest
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → 粘贴 MCP API key
  4. 点击 Connect
