TL;DR​

  • The Clockify MCP server connects your agent to clients, projects, tasks, tags, and time entries in your Clockify workspace after you connect on MCPBundles.
  • CAKE.com — Clockify's parent company — calls it the most popular time tracking tool in the world; agencies still lose Friday afternoons to hours recaps nobody wants to rebuild in a spreadsheet.
  • Built for project managers, freelancers, and ops leads who need weekly billable splits, project burn checks, and quick entry logging without opening the timer UI for every correction.

It's 4:30 on Friday. Client invoicing goes out Monday. Three projects blew their hours budget, one freelancer forgot to log yesterday's review session, and the ops lead needs billable versus non-billable split by client — not another export you'll pivot in Excel at 6 p.m.

Clockify already has the entries. The friction is assembling them fast enough to act. The Clockify integration on MCPBundles is for that assembly.

Weekly hours recap before invoices go out​

The question finance actually asks is how hours landed by client and project, and how much was billable — not a raw timesheet dump with no grouping.

"For Acme Agency's Clockify workspace, pull my time entries for this week, group hours by client and project, and show total billable versus non-billable time."

When one client dominates the variance: "Break down Harbor Legal hours this week by task and flag anything logged without a billable tag."

Project burn when the SOW is silent​

Budget conversations need who logged what on a named project this month, which tasks ran hot, and whether one person carried an unfair share — before the client asks why phase two already looks spent.

"How many hours did the Harbor Legal rebrand project log in Clockify this month? Break it down by team member and flag any tasks with unusually high totals."

For a portfolio review: "Compare this month's hours on the Acme Retail website project to last month and note whether billable percentage moved."

Client portfolio view for account managers​

Active clients, open projects, and who logged time in the last seven days — that's the standup picture account leads want without clicking every client record.

"List all active Clockify clients for Bright Smile Co's workspace, show their open projects, and summarize which accounts had time logged in the last seven days."

When a client went quiet: "Which active clients had zero hours logged in the last fourteen days despite open projects?"

Log and fix entries without the timer dance​

Sometimes the fix is ninety minutes you forgot to start the timer for — billable, named, attached to the right project, confirmed saved.

"Log 90 minutes of billable time in Clockify for today on the Acme Retail website project with the description 'Homepage redesign review' and confirm the entry was saved."

Corrections belong in the same thread: "Move yesterday's two-hour entry from internal admin to the Harbor Legal project and mark it billable."

Tags and tasks that match how you invoice​

Tags separate billable from internal work; tasks map to statement line items. When reporting drifted, ask whether entries landed on the wrong task before you re-run the client report.

"List time entries tagged non-billable on client projects this week and suggest which ones look mis-tagged based on descriptions."

Connect and try it​

Connect Clockify on MCPBundles, add your workspace connection, and ask from Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever agent you already use. Example prompts live on the product page.

"Pull this week's Clockify hours grouped by client — billable versus non-billable."

"How many hours logged on one project this month, broken down by team member?"
