MCP server for SolidTime — the open-source time tracking app. Start/stop timers, manage time entries, projects, clients, tags, and tasks directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Features

• 22 tools covering time entries, projects, clients, tags, tasks, and user info
• Start/stop timers with automatic active-timer detection
• Aggregated reports grouped by day, week, project, client, and more
• Auto member_id resolution — no manual configuration needed
• Actionable error messages — every error tells you what to do next
• Zero external dependencies beyond the MCP SDK (uses native fetch)
• Works with self-hosted SolidTime instances and the hosted version

"Cannot reach SolidTime"

Check that SOLIDTIME_API_URL is correct and the instance is accessible. For self-hosted: ensure the URL includes the protocol (e.g., https://solidtime.example.com).
