Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Everhour

Ask your AI to log time on a task, start a timer, or report how many hours a client used last month in Everhour. It adds and corrects time, runs timers and reads time reports for users, projects and clients. It can also create and update projects and tasks, so you track and review time from the chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in Everhour?

The AI can read time entries, time reports, running timers, projects, tasks, clients and users. It can log time, edit time entries, start and stop timers, create projects and tasks and update tasks. It can also delete a time entry if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Everhour API key?

No. Your Everhour credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Stopping a timer saves tracked time and deleting a time entry is permanent, so both can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Everhour account.

Whose API key should I use?

The AI acts as the person whose key you paste. With your own key it logs time as you and sees what you can see. To read time and reports for the whole team, use the key of an Everhour admin.
