What can AI agents do with Timely?
Agents can list accounts and team members, read or update clients, projects, labels, time entries (events), and planned tasks (forecasts). They can create or adjust those rows and remove projects, labels, events, or forecasts when you ask.
How does Timely authentication work on MCPBundles?
Sign in to MCPBundles, connect Timely once, and approve access in your browser. MCPBundles keeps the connection active without you pasting tokens or repeating sign-in.
Why do Timely tools ask for an account id?
Timely organizes all data under an Account workspace. List accounts when the id is unknown, or save a default account id on the connection so routine prompts can omit it.
