2. When prompted, authenticate your Toggl Track account through the connection link provided
3. Start automating your time tracking workflows with natural language

Core Workflows

1. Create and Stop Time Entries

Log time with project, task, and tag associations, or start/stop timers.

Tools:

TOGGL_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY

TOGGL_PATCH_STOP_TIME_ENTRY

Start a time entry in workspace 123456 for project 78910 tagged "meeting" and "design" with description "Design review session"

Key parameters for

TOGGL_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY

• workspace_id

  (required) -- target workspace

• created_with

  (required) -- client application name (e.g.,

  "api_client"

  )

• start

  (required) -- ISO 8601 timestamp

• stop

  -- ISO 8601 end time; omit to leave the entry running

• duration

  -- duration in seconds; omit for running entries

• project_id

  -- associate with a project

• task_id

  -- associate with a task

• tags

  -- array of tag name strings (not IDs)

• description

  -- description of the work

• billable

  -- billable status

Key parameters for

TOGGL_PATCH_STOP_TIME_ENTRY

• workspace_id

  (required) and

  time_entry_id

  (required)

2. Manage Projects

Create new projects and list existing ones with client details and pagination.

Tools:

TOGGL_CREATE_PROJECT

TOGGL_GET_PROJECTS

TOGGL_GET_PROJECT_DETAILS

Create a private billable project called "Q1 Marketing Campaign" in workspace 123456 for client 78910

Key parameters for

TOGGL_CREATE_PROJECT

• workspace_id

  (required) and

  name

  (required)

• client_id

  ,

  billable

  ,

  is_private

  ,

  active

  ,

  color

• estimated_hours

  ,

  rate

  ,

  fixed_fee

  ,

  currency

  (premium features)

Key parameters for

TOGGL_GET_PROJECTS

• workspace_id

  (required)

• page

  /

  page_size

  (1-200) for pagination

• since

  /

  until

  -- Unix timestamps for modification filtering (last 3 months only)

• clients: true

  to include full client details

3. Manage Clients

Create and list clients within a workspace.

Tools:

TOGGL_CREATE_CLIENT

TOGGL_GET_LIST_CLIENTS

List all active clients in workspace 123456, then create a new client called "Acme Corp"

• TOGGL_CREATE_CLIENT

  requires

  workspace_id

  and

  name

  ; accepts

  notes

  ,

  external_reference

• TOGGL_GET_LIST_CLIENTS

  requires

  workspace_id

  ; supports

  status

  (

  "active"

  ,

  "archived"

  ,

  "both"

  ) and

  name

  (case-insensitive search)

4. Tags and Workspace Preferences

Retrieve tags for categorization and check workspace settings.

Tools:

TOGGL_GET_TAGS

TOGGL_GET_WORKSPACE_PREFERENCES

Show me all tags in workspace 123456 and the workspace preferences

• TOGGL_GET_TAGS

  requires

  workspace_id

  ; returns tag IDs and names

• TOGGL_GET_WORKSPACE_PREFERENCES

  requires

  workspace_id

  ; returns pricing plan and display settings

5. Workspace Discovery

List all workspaces the authenticated user belongs to.

Tool:

TOGGL_GET_USER_WORKSPACES

What Toggl workspaces do I have access to?

• No parameters required
• Returns all workspaces with IDs, names, and metadata
• Use this first to discover workspace IDs for other operations

6. User Project Visibility

List projects visible to the authenticated user.

Tool:

TOGGL_GET_USER_PROJECTS

Show me all projects I can see across my workspaces

• Returns projects the authenticated user has access to
• Use alongside

  TOGGL_GET_PROJECTS

  for workspace-scoped views

Known Pitfalls

• Tags use names, not IDs:

  TOGGL_CREATE_TIME_ENTRY

  accepts tag names as strings in the

  tags

  array, unlike many APIs that use IDs. Use

  TOGGL_GET_TAGS

  to verify available tag names.

• created_with

  is required: Every time entry must include

  created_with

  (e.g.,

  "api_client"

  ). Missing this field causes silent failures.
• Duration is in seconds: The

  duration

  parameter on time entries is in seconds, not hours. 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

• since

  timestamp restriction: The

  since

  filter on

  TOGGL_GET_PROJECTS

  only allows timestamps within the last 3 months. Older queries will be rejected.
• Premium features gated: Custom colors, templates, fixed fees, and hourly rates on projects require a premium Toggl plan. Non-premium accounts will get errors when using these fields.
• Workspace ID required everywhere: Nearly all Toggl tools require

  workspace_id

  . Always call

  TOGGL_GET_USER_WORKSPACES

  first to resolve it.
