Connect MinuteDock to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants

Use MinuteDock with your AI assistant to query time data, generate summaries, and log Time Entries using natural language.

The MinuteDock MCP server lets you connect your MinuteDock account to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. Once connected, you can ask your assistant about your tracked time, generate summaries, and perform bulk actions in plain language.

What the MCP server can do

Once connected, your AI assistant can:

  • Look up Contacts, Projects, Tasks, Users, and your Account profile

  • Search your Time Entries and filter by date, Contact, Project, Task, User, billable status, approval, or invoiced status

  • Generate reports grouped by Contact, User, Project, or time period

  • Create, edit, and delete Time Entries

Permissions

The MCP acts on your behalf using your MinuteDock login, so it can only see and do what you can when signed in directly. If results look incomplete (for example, missing billable values or other Users' time), check your User Permissions in MinuteDock.

Connect your AI assistant

Claude

Claude supports MCP servers through Connectors.

  1. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.

  2. Name it MinuteDock and paste in the server URL: https://mcp.minutedock.workers.dev

  3. Sign in to your MinuteDock Account when prompted.

MinuteDock will then appear as a tool in any new Claude conversation. Claude will ask for your permission before performing any action.

ChatGPT

While we are still waiting to be accepted into the ChatGPT Apps Marketplace, you can connect in the meantime with a Custom MCP Connector.

ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as a custom (developer mode) connector. OpenAI's connector documentation covers the full setup; the steps below are a summary.

ℹ️ Custom MCP connectors are only available on paid ChatGPT plans.

  1. Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT
    In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings, then toggle Developer mode, assuming your workspace allows it. Workspace admins may need to enable it first under admin settings for custom MCP connectors.
    ​

  1. Create the connector
    Go to Settings → Connectors → Create, then enter:

    • Connector name

    • Description

  2. Name it MinuteDock and paste in the server URL: https://mcp.minutedock.workers.dev

  3. Sign in to your MinuteDock Account when prompted.

  4. Enable the connector in any chat where you want to use it.
