Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Timeero

Ask your AI which timesheets are still waiting for approval, who is off next week, or to put two people on a job on Friday in Timeero. It can read and edit timesheets, approve them, clock users in and out, create and change scheduled shifts, and manage jobs, tasks and users. Payroll prep and planning take a few questions instead of a lot of clicking.

Try asking

“Which timesheets from last week are still unapproved?”
The AI lists the timesheets in that date range that are not approved yet, with user, job and times.
“Approve Maria's timesheets from last week.”
It finds Maria, lists her timesheets for the week and approves them. She is notified unless you ask it to skip that.
“Clock Tom in on the Riverside job now.”
It finds Tom and the job and clocks him in with the current time.

What your AI can do

Time tracking

Clock users in and out, list, create and edit timesheets and breaks, and approve timesheets.

Schedules and time off

List, create, update and delete scheduled shifts, and see time off for a date range.

Jobs, tasks and users

Search and read jobs, tasks, users, groups and working locations, and create or update jobs, tasks and users.

“Schedule Anna and Lars on the Main Street job on Friday from 8 to 16.”
It creates the shift with both users and the job. If you publish it, they are notified.
“Who has time off next week?”
It lists the time-off entries between the dates you give.
“Create a job called Oak Road renovation and assign Tom to it.”
It creates the job with the name, and address and geofence if you give them, and assigns Tom.

Questions

What can the AI do in Timeero?

It can read users, groups, jobs, tasks, schedules, timesheets, breaks, time off and working locations. It can clock users in and out, create and edit timesheets, approve timesheets, create, update and delete scheduled shifts, and create or update jobs, tasks and users.

Does the AI see my Timeero API key?

No. Your Timeero API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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. Approving timesheets notifies employees, and deleting a scheduled shift is permanent. Those tools 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 Timeero account.

What rights does the Timeero API key have?

The key has admin rights in your Timeero account. That makes the tools you switch on in PipMCP the real limit on what the AI can do. Start with lookups like timesheets and schedules, and add clock in, approvals or deletes when you need them, with approval if you want.
