Clockify Automation

Automate your Clockify time tracking operations directly from Claude Code. Log time entries, query historical data, manage workspaces, and audit team activity -- all without leaving your terminal.

Toolkit docs: claude-skills.ai/toolkits/clockify


Setup

  1. Add the Rube MCP server to your Claude Code config with URL:
    https://rube.app/mcp
  2. When prompted, authenticate your Clockify account through the connection link provided
  3. Start automating your time tracking workflows with natural language

Core Workflows

1. Create Time Entries

Log time with project, task, and tag associations, plus billable status.

Tool:

CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY

Log 2 hours of work on project 64a687e2 in workspace 64a687e3 starting at 9am UTC today with description "API development"

Key parameters:

  • workspaceId
    (required) -- workspace where the entry is created
  • start
    (required) -- ISO 8601 start time (e.g.,
    2026-02-11T09:00:00Z
    )
  • end
    -- ISO 8601 end time; omit to create a running timer
  • projectId
    -- associate with a project
  • taskId
    -- associate with a task
  • description
    -- work description (0-3000 chars)
  • tagIds
    -- array of tag IDs
  • billable
    -- whether the entry is billable
  • customFieldValues
    -- array of custom field entries with
    customFieldId
    and
    value

2. Query Time Entries

Retrieve historical time entries for reporting, auditing, and invoicing.

Tool:

CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES

Get all time entries for user abc123 in workspace xyz789 from January 2026

Key parameters:

  • workspaceId
    (required) -- workspace to query
  • userId
    (required) -- user whose entries to retrieve
  • start
    /
    end
    -- ISO 8601 date range filters
  • project
    -- filter by project ID
  • task
    -- filter by task ID
  • tags
    -- comma-separated tag IDs
  • description
    -- text filter (partial match)
  • hydrated
    -- set
    true
    to get full project/task/tag objects instead of just IDs
  • in-progress
    -- set
    true
    to return only the running timer
  • page
    /
    page-size
    -- pagination (default 50 per page)

3. Delete Time Entries

Remove erroneous, duplicate, or cancelled time entries.

Tool:

CLOCKIFY_DELETE_TIME_ENTRY

Delete time entry 5b715448 from workspace 64a687e3
  • Requires
    workspaceId
    and
    id
    (the time entry ID)
  • Use for cleanup of bad imports or duplicates

4. Manage Workspaces

List all workspaces the authenticated user belongs to.

Tool:

CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES

Show me all my Clockify workspaces
  • Optional
    roles
    filter -- array of roles like
    ["WORKSPACE_ADMIN", "OWNER"]
  • Use this to discover workspace IDs before creating or querying entries

5. User Information

Retrieve current user details and list workspace members.

Tools:

CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO
,
CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE

Who am I logged in as? Then list all users in workspace 64a687e3
  • CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO
    returns the authenticated user's profile (no parameters needed)
  • CLOCKIFY_FIND_ALL_USERS_ON_WORKSPACE
    requires
    workspaceId
    ; supports
    name
    ,
    email
    filters and pagination (
    page
    ,
    page-size
    max 100)

6. Running Timer Management

Start a timer by omitting

end
in create, or check for running entries.

Tools:

CLOCKIFY_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY
,
CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES

Start a timer on project abc in workspace xyz with description "Working on bug fix"
  • Create without
    end
    to start a running timer
  • Use
    CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES
    with
    in-progress: true
    to check if a timer is running

Known Pitfalls

  • Workspace and user IDs are required: Most Clockify tools require both
    workspaceId
    and
    userId
    . Always call
    CLOCKIFY_GET_ALL_MY_WORKSPACES
    and
    CLOCKIFY_GET_CURRENTLY_LOGGED_IN_USER_INFO
    first to resolve these IDs.
  • ISO 8601 timestamps: All time parameters must be in ISO 8601 format with timezone (e.g.,
    2026-02-11T09:00:00Z
    ). Omitting the timezone causes unpredictable behavior.
  • Running timers: Only one timer can run at a time. Creating a new entry without
    end
    will fail if another timer is already active. Stop the existing timer first.
  • Pagination defaults:
    CLOCKIFY_GET_TIME_ENTRIES
    defaults to 50 entries per page. For full exports, loop through pages until no more results are returned.
  • Tag IDs are workspace-scoped: Tag IDs from one workspace cannot be used in another. Always resolve tags within the target workspace context.
