Connect Claude & ChatGPT to TimeLog

Tell your AI what you worked on and it logs the hours in TimeLog. It can find the right task, start and stop the stopwatch, list your registrations for a week, and look up customers, projects and tasks. It can also create customers, projects from templates and tasks, and check weekly timesheet status.

Try asking

“Log 2.5 hours on the Website redesign task for today: client workshop.”
The AI searches the tasks you can register time on, picks Website redesign and creates the time registration with your comment.
“What did I register last week?”
It lists your time registrations between Monday and Sunday with task, date and hours.
“Start a timer on the support task for Nordic Foods.”
It finds the task and starts the stopwatch. When you ask it to stop, the tracked time is saved as a registration.

Questions

What can the AI do in TimeLog?

The AI can read and create time registrations, run the stopwatch on tasks, and read customers, contacts, projects, tasks, users and weekly timesheet status. It can create and update customers, projects and tasks. It only sees what your TimeLog user is allowed to see.

Does the AI see my TimeLog token?

No. Your personal access token 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 with reading only. Deleting a time registration is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. 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 TimeLog account.

Where do I find my TimeLog address?

It is the address you see in the browser when you are logged in, such as https://app1.timelog.com/acme. If your browser shows https://app.timelog.com, you find your own address in TimeLog under System administration, Integrations and API, Transactional API settings.
